"The competition has been fierce, and the finalists have all shown incredible skill and passion. We're so excited to see what they'll bring to the finale. It's going to be a night to remember, Valentino said.

Valentino added that in a display of unity and camaraderie, these talented individuals have formed special bonds, forming duets and small ensembles. "These are people that have been competing against each other all season. Now, the audience gets to see them work together. This is all organic. We didn't tell them to do this. Witness the power of collaboration as these newfound friends come together to create breathtaking moments that will tug at your heartstrings," he said.
Led by Valentino, The Spire Theater's very own in-house band, In Crowd, will resonate through the theater. "This professional ensemble, including esteemed judges Ylsa Maj and Steve Davis, will take the stage and show that they don't just talk the talk, but they walk the walk," Valentino said.
