The Magic City’s most inspirational story this summer continued tonight when the nation voted to move Golden Buzzer honoree Birmingham Youth & Young Adult Fellowship Choir into the America’s Got Talent Semifinals.

America’s Got Talent’s legendary judge Simon Crowell described our hometown choir best after they secured their spot for next week’s show — “It’s America’s Golden Buzzer!”

This past July, the 60+ member choir stole the show on AGT by receiving the Golden Buzzer from Crowell.

Thanks to America’s votes after Tuesday night’s performance, the choir moves on to the AGT semifinals on September 16-17. The finals are on September 23-24.

Next week you can cast your vote by taking the following steps:
