FOOTHILL PLEASANTON REVIEW RESULTS

CONGRATULATIONS to our Marching Band and Color Guard on their award-winning performance at the Foothill Pleasanton Review. Folsom High won four awards in their respective divisions:

Field Show - 1st place
Color Guard - 2nd place
Brass Section - 2nd place
Woodwinds - 2nd place

Once again, thank you to the chaperones, food crew, uniform staff, pit crew and our teachers and staff for a great time. And to Mother Nature for holding off on the deluge of rain until we stepped off the field...literally within seconds!

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!
