NBA mascots, but my favorite is the Alexandria (Minn.) Aces ball handling
team. They are a crowd favorite wherever they go."
Stacey Whitlock, Director of Marketing, University
of North Dakota Athletics,"The Alexandria Aces were a huge hit
at our basketball game. The crowd and fans loved them! Fans and staff
were amazed at the skill level and the professionalism of the Aces. This
is the first halftime entertainment group
to receive a standing ovation!! We really enjoyed having them here. It’s
so great to see these young kids with so much dedication, talent, and
drive.
We definitely plan to have them back!"
Jane Link, General Manager Dakota Wizards,
CBA Champions, "Having the Aces at our annual New Years Eve game has
become a tradition in Bismarck - all of our fans look forward to them
coming because they put on such a great show. I would recommend the Aces
to anyone looking for Halftime Entertainment - everyone in the audience
will be pleased, I guarantee it!"
Chadwick Folkestad, Game Operations and Events Supervisor, MN
Timberwolves and Lynx, "For several seasons, we at the Minnesota
Timberwolves feel that we have been able to bring in one of the more elite
and unique halftime acts in the nation. The Alexandria Aces showcase individual
talent on a professional level, while never drawing too much attention
from the amazing talent of the group as a whole. I have seen several 'ball-handling'
individuals/groups perform, and in my opinion, the Alexandria Aces are
the most entertaining ball-handling group act available for booking. Each
time they enter our court, they entertain 18,000+ people for a solid 7
minutes, without any downtime or forced transition material. The act's
entertainment level flows consistently from start to finish (which is
the key to the GREATEST halftime acts). The Aces' acclaim has reached
as high as the NBA Entertainment Offices, which featured the Aces on their
quarterly 'Best Acts' Video series (only about 6-8 halftime acts make
it into this series each year). I would personally recommend the Alexandria
Aces for any type of entertainment booking. We will continue to have the
Alexandria Aces back for future Timberwolves seasons, and for our better
game-nights."
Deborah Diamond, Director of Game Day Management, "The
Alexandria Aces are spectacular half-time show performers. Their skills
dazzle the crowds at both our men's and women's basketball games. In the
5 years that I have been with the University of Minnesota, the Aces have
never received less than a standing ovation at our basketball games. Keeping
our fans entertained is a priority for us and the Aces always exceed our
expectations. Our fans love watching them do all of their tricks whether
they are spinning basketballs, juggling, or doing dribbling tricks. We
have enjoyed the Aces at all of our half-time shows that they have performed
at in the past and we look forward to having them in the future. I would
recommend the Alexandria Aces for any half-time show!"
