Automotion Finals RSVP
The Detroit Pistons dance team Automotion will hold their final round of auditions in the Automotion Audition Finals event sponsored by WRIF-FM radio, on Thursday, August 4th at 7:30 p.m. at The Crofoot Ballroom in downtown Pontiac. Admission to the Automotion Audition Finals is FREE and open to the public (18 and older), with a cash bar available.
“The finals event gives fans an opportunity to witness the audition process first hand,” said Automotion dance team director Rebecca Girard. “Fans who attend are in for an evening of true Pistons entertainment, fun and excitement. For the finalists, performing in front of an audience will be a treat regardless of if they make the team or not.”
The event will feature up to 40 finalists who have survived the team’s audition process, narrowing down the approximate 150 candidates who began the week. All 40 finalists will perform a choreographed dance together to open the show, then candidates will perform again later in the show, in groups of six, where they will be critiqued by a panel of celebrity judges, which includes Pistons legends Rick Mahorn and James “Buddha” Edwards, CBS Detroit New Anchor Syma Chowdhry, and Meltdown from WRIF-FM. The announcement of the 15-member team will be made at the end of the show.
In addition to the finalist performances, special appearances will be made by the Detroit Pistons Drumline, Pistons Spare Tires and DJ Prevu will be entertaining guests after the team is announced. So, guests are welcome to stay and dance the night away.
Automotion members will serve as ambassadors of the Detroit Pistons and will represent the organization both on and off the court for the 2011-2012 season. Automotion team members are required to dance during every Pistons home game and to represent the organization throughout the year at various team and charity functions.
