Jackson Cheer Company put its teams in front of an audience Saturday morning, Oct. 31, for its annual cheer showcase at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in Jackson.
What happened
The showcase kicked off at 11 a.m. WBBJ-TV reported that the company's Jackson Elite teams performed routines across multiple experience and age levels, giving local cheerleaders a chance to show off both their cheer and tumbling skills.
Why it matters to the teams
The event is held every year, and it comes before competition season begins. That timing makes it a useful early test. Competition routines depend on tight timing, synchronized stunts and tumbling passes, and performing them for a live crowd is different from running them in practice. A showcase lets teams and families see the progress athletes have made before the stakes get higher.
About the organizer
WBBJ described Jackson Cheer Company as a premier organization that teaches cheer and tumbling with "one hundred percent student focus." Its Jackson Elite teams are the performing squads featured at the showcase.
The station's report did not list individual team names, routines or a schedule of performances, and because a showcase is not a scored competition, no results were reported. Families interested in watching the teams once the season starts can check with the company for its competition schedule.
