♫ ♫ ♫
The Justmann Band plays a rare variety and an exceptional quality of music.
Old-time waltzes and polkas keep the dance floor full; modern rock and swing
brings new-comers in; classic country keeps the faithful coming; and other
all-time favorites, some with a unique spin on them, keep everyone interested!
With variety like this, entire families flock to Justmann Band performances and
all members have a great time!
The Justmann Band doesn't just play – they perform! From crazy antics and
yodeling on stage to getting out and interacting with audience members, you
never know what Justmann Band members will come up with next!

Victory International Fellowship
Frontline Youth Choir
Above is the Brookfield Assembly of God Frontline Youth Choir in Washington DC
for the 2003 National Fine Arts Festival.
This choir took 2nd place in the nation in 2002,
1st place nationally in
2003, 6th place in 2004 & 3rd place in 2005!
♫ ♫ ♫
Kerry Christensen - The world's number one yodler!
♫ ♫ ♫
Milwaukee's premiere big band will swing your socks off with our aggressive jumpin' style. We play danceable, high-energy, jump & swing tunes of the 30 ’s, 40 ’s, 50's, & 90's. Solid rhythms combined with an awesome horn section guarantees that our music will get you jumpin' Jack!. And let me tell you, pumpkin, once all those horns get up to full throttle, it's hard to keep the roof on the joint!
♫ ♫ ♫
This group plays "in The Spirit" continuously for an extended period of time, such as 90 to 120 minutes. A various point in the ministry, one of our "Tag Team" of preachers will read The Word or Pray over the top of the Holy Spirit led rhythms as The Holy Spirit instructs. This is an unusual experience and God uses it to move powerfully among those present.

EROCK FOR KIDS childrens entertainment is a 9 piece band/stage party that performs a wide variety of original and traditional kids music for children in a way that appeals to all ages. The brainchild of singer/songwriter Eric "EROCK" Sencer, EROCK FOR KIDS began as an acoustic trio but has since grown to a seasoned 9 piece group that includes horns, guitars, keyboards, bass, drums, and lots of vocals. Their show is part Vaudeville, part Broadway with a pinch of hootenanny, a spoonful of joy, and a strong helping of Rock & Roll - and always a whole lot of fun. Visually stimulating and highly interactive, a typical show finds most of the audiences sing-a-long and join in the colorful choreography.

Acre (Akko), near the Lebanese border, a town marked by the peaceful
co-existence of Jews and Arabs. From childhood, Dganit was exposed to the rich

to great acclaim before audiences in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. A fruitful
musical partnership with multitalented musician Yuval Keydar has led to several

to powerful original ballads, to worldwide tours with raconteur extraordinaire
Amos Ettinger. Many of these projects are available in record form on the
FaMusic label.

JoAnn Castle is often referred to as "Queen of the Ragtime Pianists," and was seen as the younger version of star ragtime pianist Del Wood.
Castle has released sixteen albums throughout her career. She is most known for being the central ragtime performer on The Lawrence Welk Show, on which she performed from 1959 to 1969. Originally discovered for Welk by Joe Feeney, Castle became a permanent member of the "Welk Family" just prior to her twentieth birthday: Welk wished to announce her age on the air, when she informed him that revealing her actual age publicly would jeopardize her budding career as a Las Vegas entertainer. At first nonplussed, he then surprised her on air a week later with a piano-decorated cake and announcing her hiring as one of his "champagne music-makers". On the show, she was known for playing the "Red Hot Piano".
Castle was a close friend and colleague of Liberace and has since spoken fondly of him in various retrospectives since his death.
In the 1990s, Castle performed for fans at the Lawrence Welk-owned Champagne Theater in Branson, Missouri, as well as making a guest appearance for a show with Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra on RFD TV.
Lin Biviano is noted for his power, especially in the upper register, and his distinctive fast vibrato. He has performed and/or recorded with Woody Herman, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Dorsey, Harry James, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, and Bill Chase, mostly playing lead trumpet. He has served as musical director for the Lawrence Welk orchestra since the 1980s. From 1974-1976 he led his own big band. In the mid-1960s he attended Berklee School of Music and in the 1980s he was asked to return as a teacher; as of 2010 he is still on the faculty, teaching mainly ensembles and private lessons.
