Some extra fun at Dayton Dragons games this season

The Dayton Dragons are known for adding a little extra zing to their games, from fun and games with their Green Team, to audience interaction, local entertainment groups getting a few moments in the spotlight, and some big national entertainment acts.

National entertainment acts have been booked to perform at 11 Dragons games this season at Fifth Third Field. Here is what to expect:

BirdZerk! will make his return to Fifth Third Field on June 3. BirdZerk! is wellknown for skits that revolve around pranks on players and umpires and acrobatic, synchronized dances. In 2008, BirdZerk! was named as the top minor league baseball promotional act by CNBC sports business columnist Darren Rovell. The Russian Bar Trio is a Canadian group featuring Marco Diekmann, Christine Bedard and Yves Gagnon. Initially part of a circus company, two members of the group carry a 30-foot long, 4-inch wide Russian Bar, while the third performs acrobatic flips in the air and lands on the bar. Since appearing on Seasons 3 and 11 of America’s Got Talent, the trio has performed at festivals around the world, NBA half-time shows, and worked for several circus companies, including Cirque du Soleil. They will be at Fifth Third Field on April 30. The Jesse White Tumblers are known worldwide and have been performing since 1959. Their acrobatic show has been part of two

Presidential Parades and has been seen in numerous NFL, NBA, and MLB stadiums. They will perform at Fifth Third Field for the second straight season on May 21 and August 6.

The ZOOperstars have become a fan favorite at Fifth Third Field based on past performances. These hilarious inflatable characters are based on sports figures with an animal resemblance, such as Ken Giraffey, Jr., LeBronco James, and Nolan Rhino. The ZOOperstars will perform on June 4.
