CARSON, Calif. - The Los Angeles Galaxy have announced the pregame entertainment schedule for the club's 2007 home opener against FC Dallas on Thursday, April 12 at The Home Depot Center on the campus of California State University at Dominguez Hills. This game will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. and will be aired in high definition, live on ESPN2 as the network's inaugural "MLS Primetime Thursday" telecast.
Prior to the game, world-renowned singing sensation Justin Guarini will perform the National Anthem. Currently a correspondent on Idol Tonight and a co-host on Idol Chat, both on TV Guide Channel, Guarini is widely recognized from his appearance on the first season of "American Idol" where he finished as first runner up to Kelly Clarkson. A world-class singer and entertainer, Guarini is currently working on his third album while also taking time to act in movies and perform in concert.
Earlier in the evening, at 5:30 p.m., local independent rock band Din Caliber will take the stage on the South Concourse. Taking their cue from the great English rock groups from the sixties and seventies, Din Caliber have concocted their own blend of heavy blues-based riffs and catchy melodies into a refreshing sound not heard in recent memory. The trio has recently exploded onto the Los Angeles club scene with a series of recent gigs at the World Famous Whisky A Go-Go and The Knitting Factory.
In addition to the great musical acts, fans will also be able to receive a limited edition Galaxy t-shirt, designed by Official Galaxy Artist Terry Davis. Based on original paintings, Davis has created three unique and originally designed t-shirts, the first of which will be distributed to the first 2,500 fans who enter The Home Depot Center on Thursday night.
