KC Spirit Spectacular Showcase
We are getting ready to kick off the 2026-27 competition season with the
KC Spirit Spectacular Showcase on Sunday, Nov.1st. This event is a fun
time for family and friends to come out and support your cheerleaders as
they perform their routine for the first time this season.
The event is being held at the Advent Health Sports Park - Blue Hawk
Arena and admission is $15.00/per person (5 and under free). Wrist bands
will be sold in advance and at the door. Information about ticket sales was
emailed this week from the booster club.
There will be New Spirit Wear, Raffle Baskets and Great Team
Performances! Get your Spirit Gear so you can join the Fan Section at
competitions representing our Spirt Days - Camo, Blackout, Red Kingdom.
KC Cheer hires a panel of professional judges to provide feedback for each
team on each performance. This is an essential part of the beginning of
the season and highly beneficial to the athletes and coaches alike. The
coaching staff will have a judges review meeting following the Showcase to
get individual feedback on each section of their teams routine.
Team members must arrive 30 minutes prior to their Meet your Coach
time dressed and ready to go. We encourage all team members to arrive in
time to cheer on the first performance and stay through the last team
performance. Athletes will need to be dressed in uniform to enter the
performance area without a wristband. Teams will meet their coach at
the main entrance into the arena area by the ticket desk at their “meet your
coach” time. A general time frame is posted below.
Raffle Baskets & Spirit Wear will be sold inside the arena area.

Everything you need for the make-up is in the make up kit minus mascara
or false lashes & eyeliner. Make-up is a natural eye and red lips. Make-up
should be ONLY the make-up colors in the required make-up. NO other
lipstick, no extra eyeliner or eyeshadow. Athletes do not have to wear
foundation or false lashes if they do not normally wear these. Athletes that
do not adhere to the make-up requirements will be asked to redo makeup
prior to competing, this includes lip color.
Additional Important Details:
*No Jewelry for team pictures or any performance ( jewelry is considered a
legality and costs the team penalty points at competition)
*Remove fingernail polish and fake nails - Athletes with long nails will be
required promptly remove them. This is a BIG issue and has been
addressed many times at practices. It’s dangerous to have long nails in
this sport. Please address this issue with your cheerleader. Cheerleaders
will not be allowed to perform with long nails.
*Cheerleaders must cover midriff when not performing. No walking
around the venue in sports bra and spandex. Please put on team tank
