What is KC SuperStar?

KC SuperStar, sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisors, is an ‘American Idol’ style event that awards a $7,500 scholarship to the best high school singer in the metropolitan area, provides the winner the opportunity to perform at venues across Kansas City, and grants a $1,000 donation to the winner’s high school fine arts department. Soloists from all backgrounds, representing the full spectrum of musical genres, will compete for the grand prize on August 26, 2012. The audience will enjoy a high-energy show from 7 pm to 9 pm at Yardley Hall on the Johnson County Community College Campus.

 

About the Beneficiaries:

The Jewish Community Center is a respected leader in the areas of child development and youth services, cultural arts, senior adult programming, and fitness and sports activities. Open to all faiths and backgrounds, the JCC has 7500 members and more than 300,000 visits annually. Our mission is to infuse the lives of all people with wellness, meaning and joy. Proceeds from KC SuperStar help the JCC underwrite $330,000 in scholarships and programs, which allows children and families to participate in early childhood, camping, education, arts and wellness programming. Your support also benefits the nationally acclaimed KU Athletics program by providing educational opportunities to deserving student-athletes.

 

How it works:

In the past two years, 400 students from 58 high schools across the KC Metro area have auditioned to be the next KC SuperStar. In 2011, 12 teens made it through the audition and semifinal rounds to compete in the Finals. Finalists received coaching from the event’s musical director and choreographer. This great group of contenders performed for a sold-out audience of 1300. Audience votes determined the winner from the top three finalists.
