Multiple winners will get chance to perform at Historic Saratoga Race Course
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The New York Racing Association (NYRA) announced today the opening of an online competition for a chance to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at historic Saratoga Race Course during the 2018 summer meet.
To enter, contestants must submit a video audition link from YouTube, or upload a file no larger than 50 megabytes, at the following link, https://www.nyra.com/saratoga/visit/national-anthem-contest.
The audition must include singing the national anthem without accompaniment, and contestants must fill out all corresponding information. The closing date for entries is Tuesday, July 31.
Multiple entrants will then be chosen to sing the National Anthem on either a Saturday or Sunday during this year’s meet at Saratoga, which runs from Friday, July 20 through Labor Day, Monday, September 3.
Limited to one entry per person, each must feature the contestant’s own rendition of the National Anthem. Lip-synching by the contestant or use of a pre-recorded voice will disqualify entry. Voice-altering mechanisms or programs are not allowed. Winning contestants will also be offered four clubhouse or grandstand seats on the day of their performance.
