Then, it's on the road for the rest of the year. The BeBe & CeCe Winans-styled quartet got their start opening for Jaci Velasquez on her thirty-city tour in the 2003-2004 season. This summer they are going on the road on their own and will then spend much of the fall in public schools sharing a unique dramatic presentation the group has been performing for two years. They have a series of skits they call "Stand Up America." Their manager Ben Duster says, "The idea is that they are telling their generation and any other generation that no matter where you are and no matter what you've done, today is the day that you can turn your situation around by becoming disciplined and sacrificing those things that stand between you and your goals in life."

In the course of their program, the group sings songs such as "America, the Beautiful", "The Star Spangled Banner", "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and an original song they wrote based on the preamble to the Constitution. They weave around these songs a set of skits that draw on pivotal moments during the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement where leaders had to make disciplined, sacrifices in order to accomplish their larger goals for themselves and for their communities.
