The family is already known on social media with a very large following on their Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube sites.

"We've been singing pretty much since birth for them. We sing in the shower, we sing in the car, we sing at home, we sing everywhere," said Barbara to the judges.

Barbara and Ron met 30 years ago performing on the stage and had their first kiss on the stage because it was in the show, said Ron.

"From production to reproduction," joked Judge Howie Mandel.

"One by one [the kids] wanted to be in the shows with us. 'Hey if you want to hang out with your parents, that's pretty cool'," said Ron.

Their performance received a standing ovation from the crowd and all four Judges. They also earned four yes votes to proceed in the competition.

"Musical theater is not my jam... you became my jam," said Mandel.

Judge Heidi Klum called the performance "amazing."

Judge Simon Cowell said the performance was "all American" like "apple pie."

Season 18 of "America's Got Talent" airs on NBC on Tuesdays at 8 p.m.
