10 Finalists Selected for PA Announcer Contest

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — The Schaumburg Boomers have invited the 10 finalists in the Public Address Announcer Contest to compete at Boomers Stadium located at 1999 S. Springinsguth Road in Schaumburg to audition for Boomers staff and fans at a free event open to the public from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, April 28.

The Public Address Announcer is the primary voice for the Schaumburg Boomers at all 48 home games, and will work closely with the Boomers front office staff and onfield emcee to create a memorable experience for each and every fan through the gates at Schaumburg Boomers Stadium. 

The finalists will audition at Boomers Stadium on Saturday, April 28 in a free event designed to test voice projection, tone, pronunciation, improvisation skills and general feel for the position. The Boomers will also seek a backup PA Announcer for scheduling issues or unforeseen circumstances.

The Boomers are looking for a strong vocal talent with excellent enunciation skills, strong public speaking skills and the ability to speak extemporaneously to large crowds. Those interested in entering must be prepared to work at all 48 Boomers regular season home games and any playoff games.
