FFCHS Concert Ensembles

BEGINNING BAND
​
Beginning Band is designed for students (9th - 12th grade) who did not have the opportunity to participate in a band previously, but have a desire to learn a wind band instrument (flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba). Students who have had minimal middle school band are encouraged to join Beginning Band to solidify their fundamental playing skills. Some school instruments are available to check-out, while others may need to be rented from a local music store depending on availability. All students will eventually move into one of the three concert ensembles at FFCHS. The Beginning Band will perform at band concerts throughout the year as appropriate for the ensemble. Beginning Band is a full year course.

Fountain-Fort Carson High School

Fountain-Fort Carson High School was originally built in the heart of Fountain, where what is now known as Fountain Middle School. As the community continued to grow, it was necessary to build a new high school that would hold the current students and allow for future growth. In 1999, the high school opened its doors at its current location on Jimmy Camp and has continued to improve and grow, going through two additional expansions with a student count of approximately 1800 students.
