Folsom Fall Festival Wrap-Up

What a fantastic day we had at the 7th Annual Folsom Fall Festival. Ticket sales were brisk and the stadium was full of excitement. HUGE thank you's go out to Cindy Teresi, Mr. Gaesser, Cindi Castro and the 120 volunteers who put this event together. We received several positive comments from band directors, students and attendees on the day.

Check the links below for some of the media coverage on the Festival. To quote a comment from a Sac Bee reader: "We were there last night. What a gorgeous spectacle; hundreds of wonderful teenagers, marching and playing great music and evoking gasps from the audience with their precision and discipline (and on a balmy gorgeous day)..." We couldn't have said it better ourselves!

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!
