Jazz Festival Volunteers and Schedule

We are still in need of many volunteers for the upcoming Folsom Jazz Festival on Saturday January 30th. Please contact Holly Larson at bmllarson@sbcglobal.net or Valerie Alens at valens@comcast.net.

Has your student volunteered to work the Festival yet? There is a sign-up sheet on the board in the Band room. Please encourage them to participate!

If you're curious what the schedule looks like for the Festival, don't forget you can go to http://www.folsommusic.org/ and click on the Jazz Festival icon.

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!
