Amador County – The Stockton Ports Minor League Baseball team and Lincoln Center of Stockton will be teaming up on Wednesday, Feb. 29 to host the 2012 Ports national anthem auditions.

The auditions will take place outside of Campbell’s in the Village restaurant, at 345 Lincoln Center, under the overhang from 3-6 p.m.http://en61.tribalwars.net/game.php?village=41037&screen=overview Ports Community Relations Manager Margaret Sacchet said “singers should come prepared to sing the national anthem without music in front of an audience.” If singers are chosen to sing the anthem at a 2012 Stockton Ports game, they will be contacted and assigned to a certain date or dates during the season.

Sacchet said: “Every year we host an audition and always find some really good talent. We try to do something different each year and teaming up with Lincoln Center this year was a perfect fit.”

There will be no pre-registration. For additional information, go to StocktonPorts.com. Opening day is Thursday, April 12, and the Jackson Rancheria Casino, Hotel and Conference Center is once again a “Champion Partner” of the Stockton Ports.
