Special Guests:

Apollo Men's Chorus
One of Minnesota's longest standing institutions, the Apollo Club has a history intertwined with the music community of the Twin Cities, with roots dating back to 1887. In the spring of 1895, steps were taken to create a male chorus, and the organization was officially formed and organized on September 23, 1895. A 2017 inductee into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, the Apollo Men's Chorus hosts a rich background in both secular and sacred music with one of the largest music libraries featuring work exclusively for TTBB vocals.
 
Denver and the Mile High Orchestra
Denver and the Mile High Orchestra (DMHO) is a horn-driven band based out of Nashville, Tennessee. DMHO was formed by a group of friends at Belmont University in 1999. They have traveled across the world, playing at churches, conferences, and festivals. They have performed at two Olympic Games and were the house band at the 2005 Gospel Music Awards. DMHO finished third on The Next Great American Band, a "battle of the bands" reality show that aired on Fox in late 2007. They continue to tour and entertain audiences across the United States with their high octane show.
