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.

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!
