TEXT: Today (Saturday April 22) was Day 1 of the multi-day audition series to become part of the 2017 Sea Gals. Hundreds of hopefuls came out to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center - rookies and returning Gals alike. The contestants danced freestyle for one minute to the music provided by the Seahawks, and those invited back will move on to the next round of tryout Sunday, April 23. The final squad will be chosen on Sunday, May 7. (Sy Bean / Seattle Refined)
