Tryouts to become the lead Boone Mascot performer next year will be held this Friday throughout the day as well at Relay for Life Event (an all night event that raises money for cancer research). The American Cancer Society fund-raising event will be held in Hamilton Gymnasium from 7 PM- 7 AM.

Whomever wins the Tryout will be expected to perform at various DU sporting and fund raising events. Likely the student will travel to a few DU road hockey games, Mascot Boot Camp, WCHA Final 5 and/or NCAA Frozen Four as well as events on campus.

The tryout will be hosted this Friday, no experience is needed, and if you’re interested to contact Scott.Fuson@du.edu or 503.957.5303. The performer will receive guidance, funding and support from DU alumni and graduate students.

The performer will have their expenses paid to the next Dave Raymond Mascot Training Camp to be held somewhere on the East Coast.

Thanks to Scott who did a magnificent job as Boone. Couldn't imagine a better person to be the first (new) Boone mascot, both in the arena and out. He laid a great foundation that I hope we continue to build upon.

Scot, you have secured your place in history. Whether you end up as a successful Chicago multi million dollar comodity trader with a mansion next to the Messiah's or a homeless person sleeping under the Chicago freeway trading food stamps for gin, you will ALWAYS be the original Boone. It was an honor to be your body guard when we ventured into the Wisconsin arena.

Whoever it is; DO NOT,I repeat *DO NOT* show thier face here or anywhere else. That is the Cardnial Sin of Mascotting. It's the whole Superman/phone booth thing. Never ever let anybody see you get dressed and NEVER show them who's under the fur.... PERIOD
