GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are looking for talented people to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" and to be members of their on-field entertainment team for the fast-approaching season.

The Rattlers will be holding tryouts for National Anthem singers for the 2011 season on Saturday, March 5 at Time Warner Cable Field from 10am until 3pm.  All individuals and groups who are interested in singing the national anthem for a 2011 Timber Rattlers home game can audition on this date to secure a spot for the upcoming season. All individuals/groups that have performed at the stadium in the past do not need to audition.

Anthem tryouts are available on a first-come, first-served basis during the designated time period. This will be the only audition date prior to the 2011 season. All interested parties will be required to sing a live version of the anthem during the tryout.
