Think you can sing, dance? Charlotte Bobcats are holding auditions If you love to perform in front of a crowd and want to be part of the Charlotte Bobcats experience, the Charlotte Bobcats Rhythm Cats Team and national anthem singers are holding preliminary auditions on Sept. 8. Rhythm Cats registration for the auditions at Charlotte Bobcats Arena begins at 9 a.m., with auditions starting at 10 a.m. Registration for the national anthem begins at 1 p.m., and auditions start at 2 p.m. The Rhythm Cats are a group of creative drummers and musicians with high energy that pump up the home team crowd at Bobcats games. The first 50 pre-registered anthem hopefuls are guaranteed a chance to audition in front of a panel of judges. The first 50 performers to register the day of auditions will also be guaranteed a chance to perform live later that day. The anthem can be performed vocally or played with an instrument(s). It must be performed in traditional melody format. Maximum time allowed is one minute, 45 seconds. Rhythm Cat hopefuls should come dressed for full performance (outfits, face paints, masks, and props are encouraged). To pre-register for Rhythm Cats, e-mail jwoodman@bobcats.com.
