The San Francisco 49ers are hosting open auditions for the opportunity to join the 49ers 2013 Gold Rush Squad. The Gold Rush is one of the NFL’s premiere performance groups and will be selecting 32 girls for the team.

The four-phase process will begin with preliminary auditions, on Saturday, April 6 at Maples Pavilion at Stanford University. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. Phase one of prelims will take place from 11:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by phase two of prelims from 3:15 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Applicants will be required to learn a short dance combination taught by a professional choreographer and perform that routine in a group in front of a panel of judges.
