Folsom High Music Students To Perform With Delfeayo Marsalis

Thursday, November 4th is going to be a big day for some of our jazz band students. Lynsey Carpenter, Molly Redfield, Michael Jercich and Austin White are prepping to perform with Delfeayo Marsalis on the Mondavi Center stage after spending the day rehearsing with Delfeayo and his band. Delfeayo Marsalis, brother of jazz legends Branford, Wynton, and Jason Marsalis, is a Grammy-winning producer and trombonist. Delfeayo has been involved with educating youth in various developmental programs for several years.

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!
