Thank You Notes

Thanks to all of the parents who attended the Welcome Back BBQ. We counted about 100 people in attendance and many new faces. Even better...the volunteer sign-up sheets were overflowing with names. It's going to be a great year! Thank you again to Tammi Sevy and Allyson White for organizing such a fun event.

And a HUGE thank you goes out to two alumni students, Tim Weiss and Natalie Geeter, for their help in creating the banner for our new blog...proof positive that kids who study music are way more successful than their parents at so many things. :)

Alumni Corner

Kelsey Iverson is a 2006 Folsom High music graduate who played trombone in Jazz Band I and sang with the Jazz Choir. Kelsey went on to play the trombone with the Sacramento State University Jazz Band A, the Sac State Orchestra, and several chamber groups. She graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Trombone Performance.

Kelsey is currently spending 3 months living in Prague and traveling throughout Europe. Kelsey said, "I am reminded of the Folsom Jazz Eurotrips in 2002 and 2006 almost every day here!" When she returns to the U.S., she plans to attend grad school, possibly at CU Boulder in Colorado. But that decision won't be made until she hears back from all of her applications. We wish you much good luck, Kelsey, from your Folsom High music supporters!

If you are in contact with former music students or are the parent of an alumnus, please submit an update to publicity@folsommusic.org and we'll post the news here. Photos are welcome too!
