America’s Got Talent features some of America’s most gifted people.
Each season of the television show, presented by Terry Crews and judged by Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara, draws millions of viewers.
The 18th season of the show, which premiered in 2023, includes competitors competing for a $1 million prize.
The show claims on its YouTube page that “This season promises to deliver some of the wildest acts to ever grace the ‘AGT’ stage,” The 82nd Airborne Division “All American” Chorus performed a unique presentation during their AGT audition.
Staff Sergeant Gilbert gave the order to start the performance. He saluted the group and led them with unwavering military precision onto the platform.
With their distinctive maroon berets, full-color 82nd Airborne Division insignias, and OCP uniforms, the paratroopers left a lasting impact on the judges and spectators.
Staff Sgt. Gilbert interrupted the seriousness with a pleasant “Hey everybody” that made their goals apparent. He exclaimed, “We’re here to win,” to Cowell.
Troops from all throughout the 82nd Airborne Division make up the All American Chorus, which is based at Fort Liberty, North Carolina.
They are collectively said to represent “the hearts and souls of the paratroopers, past and present.”
In light of this, the All American Chorus’s AGT performance was devoted to honoring Spc. Elijah Crawford, who passed away the previous week.
The troopers went to work when Staff Sgt. Gilbert gave the command for the chorus to fall in.
The All American Chorus opened with a classic airborne cadence, led by Staff Sgt. Gilbert.
The judges looked bewildered by this, but the audience roared and applauded.
The real entertainment began when the troops performed The Temptations’ “My Girl” a cappella.
As the crowd became louder, the soldiers’ unanimity astounded both Crews and the judges. Klum answered, “Yes,” Mandel began to hesitate, and Cowell even smiled.
As the audience applauded and sang along, other troops alternated leading the chorus.
The dancing was an excellent match for the song. To ensure the 82nd’s victory, the All American Chorus prepared a surprise at the end, as is customary for the Army.
