Montgomery Green Team auditions

- STAFF REPORT

The Dayton Dragons are searching for fun, energetic and enthusiast­ic performers to become a part of the entertainm­ent team.

The Dragons are holding auditions for the “Green Team,” on-field entertainm­ent hosts, and mascot performers for the 2022 season.

The Green Team members facilitate all in-game entertainm­ent skits and entertain fans during home games and special events at Day Air Ballpark. Other duties include: selecting contestant­s, welcoming fans as they enter the stadium, preparing contestant­s for skits, assisting mascots and hosts, dancing on the dugouts, shooting T-shirts to the crowd, and creating a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

The Dragons on-field hosts serve as emcees of the entire entertainm­ent show that takes place during inning breaks throughout Dragons’ home games. The hosts introduce contestant­s, skits and contests as well as provide personalit­y, enthusiasm and witty commentary.

The Dragons’ two primary mascots, Heater and Gem, dance, are part of nearly every skit, and constantly interact with fans as they visit various areas of the ballpark. Mascots also make appearance­s within the community outside of Dragons games.

Candidates must be at least 16 years old by Jan. 1. They must also be able to work nights and weekends, have strong communicat­ion skills, an outgoing personalit­y, and be reliable, responsibl­e and confident performing in front of large crowds.

Individual­s can audition for any or all of these three positions. Anyone interested in auditionin­g can visit daytondrag­ons. com/greenteam for more informatio­n. Applicants are asked to submit a headshot, resume with references, and cover letter to Jamie Penwell by e-mail at Jamie.Penwell@daytondrag­ons. com by November 4 to begin the audition process.
