Folsom Fall Festival Wrap-Up

Everyone is still talking about what a great day last Saturday was! Thank you to all involved in the success of the 6th Annual Folsom Fall Festival. Because of your efforts, we collected approximately $14,000 for the music fund! Our band had a great performing day as well. We placed 2nd overall, only 1.3 points away from the winner of the day, Granite Bay High School. As host of the event, we don't actually "win," but it's good to know we're up with the best of them.

Hope you enjoy the blog photos courtesy of Toni Carstens!

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!
