Gwinnett Braves

What: The Gwinnett Braves are holding auditions for Chopper, the team's official mascot. Chopper is a portly cartoon groundhog inspired by General Beauregard Lee, Ph.D., star of the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn.
Fans interested in trying out for the role of Chopper should prepare a three to five-minute skit, dance or act to perform in front of judges from the Gwinnett Braves and Georgia Gwinnett College. A CD player will be provided at the auditions. Following their performance, participants will be asked to react to hypothetical in-game situations.
When: Tomorrow, Tue, Nov. 18, 2008 from 4-7 p.m.
Who: Guest judges will be Tony Schiavone and Judd Hickenbotham, the voices of the Gwinnett Braves. Participants must be 16 years of age and older.
Where: Georgia Gwinnett College
1000 University Center Lane
Building B -- Atrium
Lawrenceville, GA
Why: Chopper is a main representation of the team and the Gwinnett Braves brand in the community. With that in mind, the team needs individuals to play Chopper who are entertaining, engaging, outgoing, calm under pressure and -- most importantly -- fun.
