"We welcome performers of all ages," said Bonnie Grant, Eagles director of communications. "Philadelphia and its surrounding region have a rich base of vocal talent. We are excited to provide a showcase for those talented individuals."

The auditions, formerly held in the Lehigh Valley location during training camp, were moved to Lincoln Financial Field in 2004. The first open call will result in 25 finalists who will move forward to the final competition.

"The new location gives each participant an opportunity to sing at the stadium," added Grant.

All interested parties can register on-site for the open call auditions, and enter through the Darien Street gate. No CDs or tapes will be accepted. All participants must be present and perform at the audition on June 4.

The National Anthem auditions are free and open to the public. For more information and up-to-date Eagles news, log on to http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/.
