FortJazz Big Band
directed by
Mark Manges performs an exciting variety of
great music including classic Big Band Era swing and popular Las
Vegas show style arrangements.
Our full-size
big band creates that
exciting sound that you rarely hear anymore.
Colorado Swing
directed by
Matthew Floyd is
our smaller version of our big band with the same music, style
and excitement as our full-size group. Colorado Swing
features our top performers and may be just the right size for
your party or venue
Our bands are available for your
fundraiser, wedding, dance,
or special event. We can tailor the music to include your
favorite arrangements and dance styles including a
variety of Latin,
Waltz, and Tango styles in addition to your Big Band Swing and
Foxtrot favorites.
A small
ensemble is available to perform quiet background or energetic
cocktail music preceding the Big Band dance portion of your
event. This is a great option for the silent auction part
of your fundraiser or when guests are arriving at your event.
Call Kip Scholl at (970) 416-1414 to
add the excitement of our performances to your next fundraiser,
dance or special event.
Special dates like Valentines
Day or weekend,
St. Patrick's Day, Saturday weddings during the Summer, Fourth
of July, December Christmas parties or
New Years Eve require sufficient advance notice and
commitment. We are booking events well into next year, so if you are
considering us for your next event please call now to have us
hold that date. We offer discounts for local fundraisers
for qualified non-profit organizations.
We do not provide stages, stage lighting, venue and stage
decoration, catering, and party equipment rental services. We
can put you in touch with contractors who provide these
services. Most venues already have stages and stage lighting
available. The band has music stand lights and can perform in
the dark if desired, but generally you will want stage lighting
for the band and vocalist. Outdoor performances require a tent
to protect the band from the rain and sun.
Sound reinforcement is needed
for announcements, solos, vocals, and an over all well balanced
sound. We can provide this service for you for a very low cost
for most indoor venues. If you want to contract your own sound
reinforcement services, I will be happy to send them the
technical requirements. We carry General Liability Insurance coverage for our
performances at no extra charge.
We have great
references from our many happy customers ...
