Glee Club Looking For Host Families

The Cornell University Glee Club is looking for hosts for its 2011 California Tour. They need housing for 56 men following their concert at Congregation B'nai Israel in Sacramento on Wednesday, January 5th. Host duties include:

· Attending the concert (Tickets cost $15)
· Meeting the singers at a reception following the concert
· Taking the singers home and providing a place to sleep for that night (couches are fine)
· Supplying a light breakfast in the morning
· Dropping off the singers at the Temple by 9 am

You must host at least 2 singers so no one student is alone. Please contact Dawn Ackerman at vicepresident@folsommusic.org if you are interested in hosting some of the students. For more information about the concert, or to buy tickets, go to http://www.gleeclub.com/events/2011catour/sacramento.php.

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!
