Cogs in Cogs by Gentle Giant. Deceptively difficult vocal song, what with the unusual syncopation and all.

Montana by Frank Zappa. Give the backup singers a relative challenge, for once!

Either Machine Messiah, Close to the Edge (Even just Total Mass Retain), We Have Heaven, or Parallels by Yes. All very lovely vocal workouts.

if they attempted that, I might actually watch the show.

Knots
On Reflection
Schooldays ()
Cogs in Cogs

hehe ... Gentle Giant - Schooldays

If they sing as a group : Neal Morse/Spock's Beard - Colder In The Sun + Healing Colour of Sound pt2 or Gentle Giant's 'On Reflection' or Yes' 'Leave it'

Renaissance : Ashes are Burning Brightly (the first 3 minutes of it, the instrumental section is cut off by a fadeout effect) ... I want to hear them hit those high notes

for an encore : Bohemian Rhapsody
