Fighting Gravity electrifies America

September 6, 2010 | by Liana Bayne, news editor

Fighting Gravity, the blacklight dance group made of Virginia Tech students who are all members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, will head to the final round of competition in NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” this week.

The group has advanced through the competition since June and is now one of 10 acts competing in Las Vegas for the grand prize of $1 million.

Fighting Gravity began performing at AnchorSplash, a Greek life talent show, in spring 2009.

Group members have been unavailable for media interviews since the beginning of the television program because of the live nature of the show. Viewers vote at home to decide which acts advance through the rounds of competition.

New episodes of “America’s Got Talent” air on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 9 p.m.

T-shirts are available at Fighting Gravity’s website, FightinGravity.com.
