Colorado Swing Big Band
directed by Mark Manges, performs an exciting variety of great music including classic Big Band Era standards as well as popular Broadway and Las Vegas show style arrangements.
Our full-size
big band creates that
exciting sound that you rarely hear anymore.
We feature the area's top musical talent including great vocalists. Our arrangements feature the music of
Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Harry
James, Stan Kenton, Frank Sinatra, Les Brown, George & Ira Gershwin,
Rodgers & Hart, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, Patsy Cline, Buddy Rich, Brian Setzer,
Gordon Goodwin and many others.
Colorado Swing
directed by Matthew Floyd, is
our smaller version of Colorado Swing 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 customize our performance to include your
favorite songs, optional vocals, background music, and Latin,
Waltz, Foxtrot and Tango dance styles
in addition to your Big Band Swing favorites.
A small
ensemble is available to perform easy listening background music 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 and when guests are arriving or dining at your event.
Call Kip Scholl at (970) 416-1414
to
add the excitement of our performances to your next fundraiser,
dance, wedding or special event.
Please contact me for professional
Digital Recording and Sound Reinforcement Services including:
-
Live portable recording services at your
site or public performance.
-
Post production mix-down and processing.
-
Live sound reinforcement equipment and
setup.
-
Engineering services at your studio or live
performance.

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 ...
