The Gwinnett Braves, Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, is holding an open call for the team’s Master of Ceremonies.  Auditions will take place on Saturday, 17 January 2009 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM by the Nordstrom’s at the Mall of Georgia.

The MC will be responsible for entertaining fans, running in-game promotions and energizing the crowd during the team’s 72 home games.  Judges will be looking for candidates that are enthusiastic, fun and that stand out in a crowd.

Fans interested in trying out should prepare a one-minute skit on why they should be the Gwinnett Braves Master of Ceremonies.  Aspiring MC’s will then be asked to emcee potential in-game promotions and will be judged on how he/she sells the promotion and interacts with the crowd.  A CD player will be provided at the auditions.

Note that participants must present a valid ID and be at least 18 years old.

To pre-register for your chance to audition, please email Lisa Howell at lisa.howell@braves.com and in the subject line type in MC Audition, or call her at 678-277-0317.  Fans can also sign up the day of for their chance to audition.
