Jazz Festival Trophy Sponsorships

The Folsom Jazz Festival has grown to become one of the largest and most popular school jazz festivals in the State. Over 125 middle school and high school jazz bands, choirs and combos will compete.

Here's an opportunity for your business, family, or organization to be a part of this exciting event and to support the incredible music programs at Folsom High School. Sponsor a festival trophy for as little as $50. There are four levels of sponsorships available. You will be listed in the event program as a "Patron of the Jazz Festival," and the program will be distributed to thousands on the day of the festival.

For order form and more information, please visit www.folsommusic.org.

URGENT - Got Graphic Designing Skills???

The Music Boosters are in dire need of a volunteer who has graphic designing skills. Specifically, this volunteer helps with designing our newspaper ads and event programs and flyers. We need someone to take on the Jazz Festival Program design right away.

Have no fear, we do have a volunteer (who is retiring) right now that can show you the way. The software of choice has been Corel Draw, but if you have another type of software that you would prefer to use, not a problem!

If interested or if you would like further information, please email publicity@folsommusic.org.

Thanks to Orchestra and Concert Band

Kudos to our Orchestra and Concert Band for the wonderful show on Tuesday night. The Orchestra sounded lovely and amazingly professional. The Concert Band put us all in the mood for the holidays and gave one last rousing rendition of the marching band field music.

A great way to end before Winter break. Thanks to all of our talented students!
