My apologies for delivering this news after the deadline. I wish I had known about it earlier. Seems the Garden State was a bit slow mobilizing on the publicity front. From the website of the New Jersey Nets, I bring you the following announcement:NETS TO HOLD AUDITIONS FOR NEW SENIOR DANCE TEAM!
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -- The Nets are holding open auditions for their first-ever senior dance team on Monday, November 20, from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. at the Nets practice facility at 390 Murray Hill Parkway in East Rutherford. Registration opens at 4 p.m.
The Nets senior dance team will be comprised of men and women who are at least 60 years of age. Those who audition must have some dancing capability. The senior dancers will perform during at least six games this season and will have their ages on the backs of their uniforms.
I'm tickled by the requirement for prospective senior dancers: "some dancing capability." I have to think that "dancing capability" is not the same thing as "dancing ability," but something closer to walking or tying your own shoes or self-respirating.
The best part of the announcement is here:Nets fans are encouraged to come up with a team-name for the senior dance squad and email it to ppope@njnets.com. The fan whose suggestion is chosen will receive two tickets to an upcoming game at which the senior dancers are performing.
As far as I know, the Nets are still searching to name their geriatric group of dancers. Feel free to post your names here, and I'll send them along to the organization. Some possible favorites include:
The Varicose Vixens
The Early Bird Specials
Medicare Mod-Squad
The Rheumatic Rockers
The Prune Poppers
Good luck!
