Peoria to hold 'Chiefs Idol' tryouts
Serving as judges for the contest will be Chiefs president Rocky Vonachen, Chiefs events & entertainment manager Camden Linstead, and ESPN Radio hosts Doc and Kotter from the Doc & Kotter Show. The second open tryout will be on Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m., at a yet to be announced location. Those contestants who make it through the first two weeks of tryout will be invited to attend the final night auditions at O'Brien Field on Thursday, March 13 at 7 p.m.
The Chiefs have already had a few individuals try out this offseason and are not obligated to hire an individual from the ESPN Radio sponsored tryouts. Candidates who are interested in trying out need to be available for all 70 of the Chiefs home games in 2008, starting April 7 and ending Aug. 28, pending a playoff appearance. The Chiefs entire 2008 schedule can be found at www.peoriachiefs.com/schedule online.
During the tryouts, contestants will be asked to perform three individual pieces: a Chiefs starting lineup, a between-inning read, and an in-game read.
