The City of Lancaster is hosting virtual “AV Idol” auditions to find a local resident to perform the national anthem at this year’s “4th of July Extravaganza.”
All Antelope Valley residents are invited to participate by submitting a video of themselves singing the national anthem. The selected singer will have the honor of singing the national anthem at the 4th of July Extravaganza at the Antelope Valley Fair & Event Center on Monday, July 4.
“The 4th of July is without a doubt one of our signature events here in Lancaster, and I am so proud that we will be featuring a local artist singing the national anthem,” said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. “I know that we have a lot of talent in our community, so I can’t wait to see who submits audition videos and who is ultimately selected to perform.”
Residents who are interested in auditioning may submit their performance video in one of three ways:
1. Email it to PRAReply@cityoflancasterca.gov
2. Post the video to TikTok, tag the City of Lancaster, and use the hashtag #AVIdol
3. Post the video to Instagram Reels, tag the City of Lancaster, and use the hashtag #AVIdol
The City is accepting submissions until Wednesday, June 22, at 11:59 p.m.
