HOW AUDITIONS WORK

Pre-registration is under way at daytondragons.com/nationalanthem. The first 200 entrants who pre-register for this event will receive a scheduled tryout time. In the event that all the allotted spots are filled, you could still have a chance to perform at the tryouts on a standby basis.

You will receive a standby number that will be called when a spot becomes available. Standby performers are not guaranteed a chance to try out, so interested performers are strongly encouraged to preregister.
