Each February, nearly 200 people attend National Anthem Auditions -- and dozens of those candidates are selected to sing at Coca-Cola Park. A cappella renditions will again be performed by individuals as well as by groups, choirs, choruses, barbershop quartets, etc. Each audition will be limited to 90 seconds in length and judged by both IronPigs executives and Allied Personnel Services officials.
