BILOXI, Miss. (GULF COAST WEEKEND) - Belting out “The Star-Spangled Banner” in front of a huge crowd to start a ball game can be an intimidated task for even the best singers. But, for those up to the challenge, it can be a rewarding and memorable experience. Now, the Biloxi Shuckers are giving you a chance to do it at MGM Park.

Auditions will be held Saturday, March 25, 2023 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at MGM Park. Individual singers, duets, instrumentalists, and bands are all welcome to tryout. If you’re interested, here’s what you need to do:
