SABRES ANNOUNCE JUMBOTRON EMCEE CONTEST
BUFFALO, N.Y. (July 19, 2007) — The Buffalo Sabres today announced they will hold a competition to find the next in-game Jumbotron host for select home games for the upcoming 2007-2008 season. With the help of on-line fan voting, the winner will be chosen by the Buffalo Sabres.
The initial entry for the contest will consist of an on-camera audition, explaining in two minutes or less why the contestant would be a unique and interesting in-game host. The winner of the contest will receive the opportunity to host 10 home games during the regular season. The contest will be a four-round elimination where the top four finalists will compete during portions of two Sabres home games at the beginning of the season (October 11 and 13). The winner will be announced live during the Sabres game on October 19 against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
There are three ways for interested candidates to enter. There will be a live casting call at HSBC Arena on Saturday August 4 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Members of the Sabres staff will be available to video tape candidates. A DVD, VHS or Mini DV, along with a headshot photo can be submitted via mail. Video messages and photos can also be dropped off in-person to the Account Services office at HSBC Arena during normal business hours.
Application forms and official contest rules can be found at Sabres.com or at the HSBC Arena Account Services office.
I’m hoping the online voting also has a choice called “none of the above”. How about a season free of the noise and cacophony of these moronic game night hosts, and just organ music, cool music bumps and video clips during stoppages in play.
