Energy Team auditions
The team announces:
The Lightning Energy Team will hold auditions for the 2008-09 season on Sunday from 4-8 p.m. in Icons Restaurant, located in the St. Pete Times Forum. The team is looking for sporty, energetic individuals to motivate Lightning fans this season both in-house and around the Tampa Bay area. There is no fee to audition, and applications will be available upon arrival.
Those interested in participating should be prepared to perform a talent in front of a panel of judges. Talents can include, but are not limited to, stilt walking, juggling, impersonations, tumbling, dancing, singing and comedy routines. Please be prepared to provide your own music, if necessary. After the talent portion, applicants will be placed in small groups to perform skits in order to showcase their talents and show their ability to work together as a team.
Interested applicants must be at least 18 years old and live within 50 miles of the St. Pete Times Forum. They must be either full-time students, have a full-time job or a combination of both. Team members must be able to commit to the busy schedule for one year and be available for most game nights, one rehearsal per month and various community appearances.
The Energy Team can be seen all throughout the St. Pete Times Forum on Lightning game nights. The team runs contests on the ice during game intermissions, mingles with the fans on the plaza before games and can be see launching T-shirts and other fun giveaways for sponsors throughout the stands during games. Energy Team members also represent the Lightning throughout the town through appearances such as watch parties, charity events, school pep rallies and more.
For more information, please contact Hope Donnelly at (813) 301-6877 or at HDonnelly@sptimesforum.com.
Follow the Lightning through the season with beat writer Damian Cristodero and the Times sports staff. We invite your participation in the comments area.
What a time for me to move to NYC. The guy that launches the t-shirts could be me. How many more missed opportunities can God throw at me.
