If you've been harboring secret dreams of belting out The Star-Spangled Banner in front of a crowd, here's your shot—Surprise Stadium is on the hunt for vocalists to sing the National Anthem during Spring Training games early next year. From February 20 through March 21, 2026, the stadium will become a stage for chosen singers to showcase their patriotic pipes.
For those ready to step up to the mic, the process to apply is simple enough, hop onto their online application form and submit your details, but don't drag your feet—the clock is ticking, and January 9, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. is the cutoff, and folks, that's not a soft deadline. In a statement obtained by the City of Surprise, applicants are nudged to "submit early to ensure consideration," as spots are few and the hopeful many, so the early bird might just catch the worm here or in this case, the mic.
Details regarding the selection process are a bit on the hush-hush; with the avalanche of submissions expected, only the chosen few will get a callback, with those lucky vocalists hearing back by early February. It’s a tough gig to snag, but for aspiring and experienced singers alike, an opportunity to perform at Surprise Stadium might just be worth the gamble.
For those left wondering about the finer points, additional information is within reach—Cecilia Covarrubio, from the Surprise Sports, Entertainment & Culture Department, is the go-to for any lingering questions, reachable at [email protected].
