FARMIN PARK TESTIMONIAL
“THE CITY OF SANDPOINT WAS PLEASED TO HOST THE ALLIANCE,
A uNIquE THEATRICAL MEDIEVAL PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND. THIS FuN AND
FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT WAS THE VERY FIRST TO CONCERT IN OuR NEW
PARK BAND SHELL IN THE FALL OF 2013 AND THEY PuT ON A SHOW TO
REMEMBER. WITH ORIGINAL SONGS AND AN IMPRESSIVE STAGE SHOW,
INCLuDING A CASTLE STAGE, TO SAY THE AuDIENCE WAS ENTERTAINED
WOuLD BE AN uNDERSTATEMENT. THERE WERE SHIELDS, KNIGHTS IN
ARMOR, SWORDS, CODE OF ARMS, AuTHENTIC REPRODuCTIONS OF MEDIEVAL
ExHIBITS, A STOCKADE, DuNGEON GATE, KINGS TREASuRE BOx, KINGS
ARMOR DISPLAY, CALDRON ExHIBIT, CODE OF ARMS DISPLAY, AND MuCH
MORE.
AS PART OF THE PRODuCTION THE BAND TAKES THE STAGE IN MEDIEVAL
KNIGHT ATTIRE. ADD TO THAT AN ONGOING STREAM OF SuPPORT PLAYERS
SuCH AS NARRATOR WIZARD TIME KEEPER, GIFTED MAIDENS PERFORMING
BALLET DANCE, MuLTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO PuLL THE SWORD ExCALIBuR
uNTIL THE WORTHY SuCCEEDS AND MORE, THERE WAS NOT A DuLL
MOMENT.
IN PARTICuLAR I WAS PLEASED WITH THE INTERACTION THAT THE BAND
HAD WITH THE CROWD, ESPECIALLY THE YOuNGSTERS. I WAS ALSO
IMPRESSED WITH THE TALENT OF THE MuSICIANS. THE ORIGINAL MuSIC
WAS WELL PRACTICED AND TIGHT. THE ALLIANCE WORKS HARD AND HAS
PASSION, THE RESuLTS WILL NOT DISPLEASE. ON BEHALF OF OuR CITIZENS
WHO ENJOYED THIS ENTERTAINING PRODuCTION, TWO THuMBS uP!”

BING CROSBY – TESTIMONIAL“I HAVE MANAGED THE BING CROSBY SINCE 1988 AND PRESENTED MORE THAN 5,000
EVENTS INCLuDING PEARL JAM, WYNTON MARSALIS, NEKO CASE, OLD 97'S, ANDREW
BIRD, ALICE IN CHAINS, ANI DIFRANCO, LL COOL J, JOAN BAEZ, ROBERT CRAY, ARLO
GuTHRIE, TOMMY EMMANuEL, JONNY LANG, STRING CHEESE INCIDENT, BOB WEIR, JOAN
BAEZ, BELA FLECK, LINDSEY BuCKINGHAM, DARK STAR ORCHESTRA AND STEVE
EARLE. I KNOW TALENT WHEN I SEE AND HEAR IT AND THE CREATIVE AND
ENTERTAINING PERFORMANCE "THE ALLIANCE" PRESENTED IN OCTOBER 2013 AS A
HEADLINING SHOW AT THE BING WAS INSPIRATIONAL. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST
INNOVATIVE PERFORMANCES I HAVE SEEN AND THEIR MuSIC MADE THE VISuALS A
uNIquE AND FuN. THEIR SHOW WAS PROFESSIONALLY CHOREOGRAPHED AND
PRESENTED.
THE ALLIANCE'S uNIquE PERFORMANCE INCLuDED A DISPLAY OF THEATRICAL
PERFORMERS ON CENTER STAGE COMBINED WITH THE ExCITEMENT OF A DRIVING
MEDIEVAL THEMED ROCK MuSIC SOuND. THE SHOW INCLuDED THE ACTION OF SWORD
FIGHTING, DANCING, THE SWORD ExCALIBuR FROM THE STONE, A CONFLICT WITH THE
DARK PRINCE (MAD DOG), AND AN ANIMATED WIZARD (TIME KEEPER) DELIVERING
NARRATION THROuGHOuT THE EVENING. I GIVE THIS MuST SEE PERFORMANCE TWO
THuMBS uP, AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR ALL AGES TO SEE. I BELIEVE THE
ALLIANCE IS A GREAT FRESH NEW ORIGINAL SHOW WITH THE HuGE POTENTIAL TO
BECOME A RECOGNIZED NATIONAL ACT. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY AND
PROFESSIONALISM TO PERFORM IN MAJOR CITIES THROuGHOuT THE COuNTRY. WE LOOK
FORWARD TO HAVING THEM BACK AT THE BING.”

OKTOBERFEST TESTIMONIAL“I RARELY HAVE THE OPPORTuNITY TO RECOMMEND A PERSON OR GROuP THAT HAS
BROuGHT ME SO MuCH PERSONAL ENTERTAINMENT.
THIS LAST SuMMER I HAD THE GREAT BLESSING TO GET TO KNOW THE GROuP KNOWN AS
THE ALLIANCE. WHILE I HAD PERSONAL ENJOYMENT, ONE THING STOOD OuT IN MY
OPINION OF THE BAND: BIGGER AND BETTER. THEY SHOuLD BE PLAYING IN BIGGER AND
BETTER VENuES, LIKE LAS VEGAS OR ORLANDO.
THE BAND IS POLISHED, THE ACT IS BIGGER THAN LIFE, AND THEY APPEAL TO ALL AGE
GROuPS. DuRING THE SuMMER I SAW THE ALLIANCE WOW AuDIENCES AT THE SANDPOINT
OKTOBERFEST, THE SCHWEITZER MOuNTAIN FALL FEST, AND THE BING CROSBY
THEATER IN SPOKANE, AND MORE. EACH SONG TELLS A STORY, AND THE ENTIRETY OF
THE SET PAINTS A TABLEAu. EVEN THOuGH EACH SONG AND SET STANDS ALONE IN ITS
ABILITY TO ENTERTAIN, THE WHOLE OF THE ACT IS uNIquE, MAKING FEET TAP, HANDS
CLAP, AND BRINGING JOY TO THE AuDIENCE.
MY SuGGESTION FOR THE BAND IS TO BRING THE ACT TO A LARGER AuDIENCE, BuT I
HAVE NO DOuBT THEIR POPuLARITY WILL GROW. I WAS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN
SANDPOINT BuSINESS ASSOCIATION, WHICH HIRED THE BAND FOR A SuMMER CONCERT,
AND ALSO HEADED uP THE SANDPOINT OKTOBERFEST, FOR WHICH THEY HEADLINED AND
BROuGHT DOWN THE HOuSE.
IF YOu ARE CONSIDERING HIRING THIS BAND, DO SO WITH CONFIDENCE. ORIGINAL,
MuSICALLY TALENTED, AND THE BEST SHOW WE HAVE IN NORTH IDAHO, AND PERHAPS
ONE OF THE BEST IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.”
