'Oh Say, Can You Sing' Set for October 7: National Anthem Auditions Open to All

The Syracuse University Athletics Department will hold open auditions for National Anthem performers on Friday, October 7th, from 4:30 to 7 pm at Manley Field House. Auditions will take place inside the arena. The 'Oh Say, Can you Sing' auditions are for individuals or groups interested in possibly performing the National Anthem at Syracuse University home athletics events. Performance opportunities include men's and women's basketball, men's and women's lacrosse, and other athletics home contests.

Syracuse University faculty, staff, and students, along with the general public, can participate in the auditions. Auditions can be vocal or instrumental and must be done in 90 seconds or less.

Auditions will be held on a first-come, first-served basis, and those auditioning are asked to be ready to sing when they arrive at Manley Field House. Aspiring performers who cannot attend the live audition on October 7th are invited to email a video recording to Kerri Jennings (kljennin@syr.edu) no later than Tuesday, Oct. 11.

In 2015, more than 80 aspiring performers auditioned for the opportunity to perform the national anthem at Orange athletics events. It was the largest pool of talent since the inception of the 'Oh Say, Can You Sing' program launched in 2013.

For further information or questions about the 'Oh Say, Can You Sing' event, please contact Kerri Jennings at kljennin@syr.edu.

Syracuse University men's and women's basketball tickets are available online. All Orange basketball fans can enjoy a sneak preview of the men's and women's teams at the annual Orange Madness event on Friday, October 21 at the Carrier Dome.
