Special Concert - University Of North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band

We are very excited that the University of North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band has agreed to do a concert for us, Friday, January 29th, 2010, the night before the Jazz Festival. The UNT One O'Clock Lab Band has been nominated for TWO 2009 Grammy Awards! The FHS One O'Clock Jazz Band will open for the internationally-acclaimed band. This concert is sure to sell out quickly so buy your tickets early by visiting http://www.folsommusic.org/. The tickets will be $15 presale and $20 at the door, if they are available. Our students will be given passes to get into the concert, FYI. For more info on the UNT One O'Clock Lab Band click on the link below.

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!
