Asheville Tourists hold singing tryouts for pre-game National Anthem
12:55 PM
It's not American Idol, but you’ll still get to sing in front of a crowd (assuming you make it that far). The Asheville Tourists are looking for a few singers to sing the National Anthem before their games at McCormick Field.
On Saturday, March 29th, the team's front office will be holding tryouts to find pre-game singers from 10am to 2pm. Anyone and everyone can attend, and singers are not required to register. The tryouts will be broadcast over the stadium's PA system. In the past, the Tourists have been quite impressed with Asheville citizens' vocal ability and are hoping to be equally impressed this year.

An Introduction to the Asheville Drum Circle
4:07 PM
If you're visiting Asheville for the first time and want an example of the city's unique culture, stop by Pritchard Park during a Friday night in the Spring, Summer, or Fall and see the Drum Circle. Anyone can join in -- all you need is a drum. The park is smack in the middle of downtown, and you will see old and young alike beating away in rhythm. Everyone gets involved and has a great time, from professional musicians to first-timers, the Asheville Drum Circle welcomes everyone.
The circle has survived numerous complaints from nearby condos and there was once a movement to have it shut down, but the weekly event survived, and is just as eclectic as ever. During the rest of the week, Pritchard Park is also used by many people to play chess, as well as hosting an outdoor silent movie series during the Summer months. For additional information on the circle, check out its page on myspace.com/ashevilledrumcircle.
