They’ve bought expertise. Sky Parts, alongside the opposite 9 finalists, gave it their all on Tuesday night time for the stay efficiency of the America’s Acquired Expertise finale. It’ll be a troublesome activity for America to need to determine the winners. However we’ll go forward and admit our bias and say it completely ought to be Sky Parts.
It’s not simply because Drone Lady has a penchant for drones. Sky Parts has really accomplished what’s by no means been accomplished earlier than. They’re the primary drone act of any form of make it this far within the NBC-backed expertise present, which is now in its nineteenth season.
And naturally, each act is advanced. The Hakuna Matata Acrobatic group carried out not simply sophisticated stunts, however sophisticated stunts accomplished on a rolling barrel whereas carrying blindfolds. Sebastian and Sonia, who’re aerial stunt performers, nonetheless plowed by way of their efficiency regardless of Sonia’s wrist harm. Roni of Roni & Rhythm has to coordinate with a performer who isn’t even human (aka it’s her canine).
However the Sky Parts drone present took on a particular form of problem. Sky Parts additionally depends on non-human performers, being their large fleet of drones. Their efficiency finally ends up larger within the air than any aerialist would ever go. And hey, their act even requires approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to drag off.
The Sky Parts ‘American Dream’ finale
For his or her ultimate efficiency, Sky Parts paid tribute to the American Dream in an act that paid all kinds of tributes to the American dream. That included photographs of somebody crusing to America, a prepare automobile, a patriotic eagle and the Statue of Liberty. It was set to the music “A Million Goals” by Pink.

Watching America’s Acquired Expertise in-person (and the way it’s completely different than the actual present)
I used to be there in individual to doc the finale efficiency, stay. It movies on the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, the place the vibes are electrical. Oh, and loud. (Should you ever see America’s Acquired Expertise in-person, deliver ear plugs, because the cheering is the loudest you’ll ever right here.)
Now most acts happen stay. However, the drone section was pre-recorded. That’s a needed measure as a result of it’s not darkish sufficient to see the drones when the present goes stay (which is 5 p.m. PT). Regardless that the drones have been the final act, that occurred round 6:50 p.m. PT, which is 4 minutes earlier than the day’s official sundown time.
However that didn’t diminish the impression of their efficiency. On the display screen, their drones danced and twirled, portray the night time sky with patterns paying tribute to America’s historical past. That’s becoming for America’s Acquired Expertise.
For individuals within the viewers, what viewers at-home noticed was additionally aired on the display screen — enabling the judges to provide suggestions too. And when the recording ended, the Sky Parts crew took the stage, and the gang nonetheless erupted in cheers. Their ardour for making drone exhibits is infectious.
Lower than a day after NBC posted the clip of the Sky Parts America’s Acquired Expertise finale to its YouTube channel, it has already racked up almost 100,000 views and greater than 200 feedback. Commenters known as it the “Greatest act I’ve ever seen on AGT, ever” and proof of “why they need to win the entire thing.”
