Avery’s group categorized under ‘Standby Acts’ section was put in the ‘Kid Acts’ grouping.Avery and the Calico Hearts were asked to sing a cover of “It’s Your Thing” in Episode 612. Their unusually stellar performance enabled them to sail through to the quarterfinals of Season 6 of ‘America’s Got Talent’ that was staged in Hollywood from July 12-August 17, 2011.In the quarterfinals, the trio sang, “I Wish” but their rendition failed to garner sufficient votes to qualify for any of the top five acts eligible to move on to the semifinals.
