Calling All Volunteers

If you are in search of a volunteer opportunity that's fun and rewarding, look no further! Here are a couple of suggestions:

Paula Hill is in need of some help with food for the Marching Band and Color Guard, especially for the upcoming homecoming game on Friday, October 1st. You can either prepare food ahead of time or help serve at the game. Contact Paula at paula@daygear.com or (916) 351-1008.

Our event volunteer coordinators, Valerie Alens and Holly Larson, are already busy trying to fill positions for the Folsom Fall Festival (November 6th) and the Crab Feed (November 19th). Whether you'd like to assist with preparations before these events or the day of, there is much work to be done. Contact Valerie at valens@comcast.net (916) 355-1733 or Holly at bmllarson@sbcglobal.net (916) 984-1237.

As always, thank you for your support!

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!
