Jamfest Live! Kansas City

Jamfest Live! KC will be held at the KANSAS CITY CONVENTION CENTER - MUNICIPAL ARENA.

Admission is CASH ONLY as follows: $20 for Spectators; $5 for Children ages 5-12; Military (with ID), Seniors 65+ and Children 4 and under are free.  Additional Information can be found on the Jamfest Live! Website

General Reminders

It is so important that all athletes are on time. These competitions will not hold our practice times, so if we are without someone at check-in, we lose our chance to warm up and practice. All athletes need to be dressed and ready at the “Meet Coach” time listed below.

Our athletes love to perform for a cheering crowd! We love to have you there to watch, but remember to make some noise too! Bring on the loud voices, lighted signs, noisemakers and cowbells to support our teams. Remember to show great sportsmanship (cheerleaders AND parents), and hospitality so teams want to return to KC for future competitions.

NCA Saturday/Sunday Teams

Below is the information for Saturday and Sunday teams at NCA (everyone except Finesse and Flawless). Please be aware of the Master KC Cheer Schedule for all performance times.

Friday, March 1

TRAVELING

• All athletes are required to ride the bus to Dallas. The buses will leave from KC Cheer. If you are parking your car at KC Cheer please be sure to park only in front of our building or at the arena.  If you are dropping off please enter from the WEST END of the back parking lot and stay out of the way of the buses. Please be on the bus by 6:15 a.m. so we can leave promptly at 6:30 a.m.  

•  The bus will only be stopping for cheerleaders to get off for food and drinks one time, so please make sure your cheerleader has snacks and drinks for the entire 9 hour trip, as well as money for lunch when we stop. We will also be making a few "stretch" stops for the drivers, but cheerleaders will not be allowed off the bus during these stops.

• When we arrive in Dallas, cheerleaders should take their luggage to their rooms and get ready for a quick team meeting to discuss the next day. Coaches will let team moms know of the time once we get to Dallas. Athletes should be in bed no later than 10:00 p.m., as we have an early day on Saturday.
