ROUND ROCK, Texas - Don't wanna be a chicken? Don't wanna be a duck? Come shake your tail… in front of thousands of Round Rock Express fans as the team's official mascot, "Spike!"

Boogie on down to Dell Diamond and show us what you've got as the Round Rock Express hold open mascot auditions for the 2016 season. Auditions will take place on Wednesday, March 2 from 6-9 p.m. at the United Heritage Center at Dell Diamond.

Affectionately dubbed "fan's best friend," Spike is a vital component of the fan experience at Dell Diamond. Candidates must be comfortable performing in front of thousands of fans. Mascot responsibilities extend far beyond the confines of the ballpark, as Spike is an important representative of the team in the Central Texas community. The ideal candidates are upbeat, outgoing and charismatic individuals with the ability to interact with all types of people in a family-friendly environment.

Any individual wishing to attend open tryouts must complete this form. For additional questions, please contact Express Director of Entertainment Steve Richards at [email protected].

Applicants must meet the following minimum qualifications:

  • Previous experience as a mascot at the collegiate level or with a sports team required;
  • Possess a basic knowledge of Minor League Baseball;
  • Must be in good physical shape (former varsity athlete, cheer & dance, or theater experience preferred);
  • Must be comfortable working in a costume for long periods of time;
  • Bachelor's Degree preferred;
  • Background Check will be performed;

A full description of the traits, requirements and responsibilities can be found on the Express Employment Opportunities page.

The Express opens the 2016 season on the road before returning to Dell Diamond for the home opener on Friday, April 15 against the Iowa Cubs. For more information on the Express, visit www.RoundRockExpress.com or call (512) 255-2255. Keep up with the Express on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
