Jazz Band I & II

The Fountain-Fort Carson High School Jazz Band is open by audition to all students currently enrolled in the FFCHS Band program. Students will perform in concerts and festivals, listen to the best jazz artists, and study jazz history and improvisation. Jazz I meets during the spring semester only, but may schedule auditions and additional performances in the fall semester once marching season has concluded. Spring band auditions and fall evaluations will be used to determine placement for participating students. Only students who are concurrently enrolled in Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Concert Band or Percussion Class may audition for this ensemble with the possible exception of guitar, bass and piano players. Jazz Band may not be a student's primary (only) band course during any semester.

Jazz II meets three times a week after school for students who are interested in jazz band, but are unable to take the course during the school day - participation is by audition only.

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.
