Get ready to get goosebumps while watching the fourth round of auditions on America’s Got Talent. The foursome singing troupe, Voices of Service, are going to blow the socks off the AGT judges Simon Cowell, Julianne Hough, Gabrielle Union and Howie Mandel. During their performance of the uplifting Katy Perry song “Rise,” Union does just that (she rises) and the audience follows. Union’s father Sylvester Union served in the military — a sergeant in the U.S. Army.

The song was used prominently by NBC as it covered the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Perry said at the time: “I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together. I am honored that NBC Olympics has chosen to use [‘Rise’] as an anthem before and during the Rio Games.”
