Lone Star Park Hosts Auditions For National Anthem Singers

If you ever wanted to perform the “Star-Spangled Banner” in front of a live audience, warm up those vocal chords. Lone Star Park will hold open auditions for anyone who is interested in singing the National Anthem before this season’s horse races.

Auditions will be held March 5 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 1000 Lone Star Parkway in Grand Prairie. Tryouts will be held outdoors (weather permitting) just west of the Winner’s Circle. Enter through Parking Gate 5 off Lone Star Parkway and park in the Preferred Parking Lot. Then enter through the East Entrance of the Grandstand.

During the auditions, each singer will have up to two minutes to perform the “Star-Spangled Banner” either a cappella or using an acoustic instrument. Lyrics must be memorized, and the rendition must have the traditional melody.

Auditions are open to all individuals and performance groups. Performers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian. If available, participants are encouraged to bring a performance resume.

Anyone interested in singing the National Anthem for Lone Star Park must audition in-person. Those selected to perform will receive four (4) reserved seats and one (1) valet parking pass for live racing on their performance date.
