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!

Marching Band Do's and Don'ts
Here are some reminders for our marching band students as we finish out the season:
Low-cut socks are not allowed because they don't cover the leg during marching. And remember to keep extra black socks in the wardrobe bags. Our wardrobe volunteer is having to provide black socks at the last minute and gather them back up, take them home, and wash them. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BAG FOR EXTRA SOCKS AND MAKE SURE YOU'RE COVERED!
Please take care of the uniforms. We've recently repaired 40 jackets and had to replace sashes. These uniforms need to last many years and need quality care.
Please check the length of the pants. We're seeing many shorter pants but all that's needed is an adjustment of the strap at the shoulder.
All photos and videos need to be taken from the stands at the competitions, not on the field.
Students need to be patient in the food line and PICK UP AFTER THEMSELVES. At the Foothill competition, many parents were stuck picking up water bottles, etc that were just left on the ground.
Reminder: The District will not allow parents to take students to and from the competitions.
Parents - Thank you following up with your students about the above details!

2009/2010 Top Folsom High Jazz Groups Perform at Monterey Jazz Festival
Our 2009/2010 advanced jazz band and jazz choir just returned from performing (September 19, 2010) at the 53rd Annual Monterey Jazz Festival, headlining Harry Connick Jr. The groups won the right to perform at the Festival after winning top awards at the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival last April, a student competition sponsored by the Monterey Jazz Festival.
The Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival hosts the country's top high school jazz musicians each year who audition for a spot to compete at the professional Festival. The competition is tough! There were 48 Big Band audition submissions from 23 states, and the Next Generation Jazz Festival accepted only 12 bands. The vocal groups were just as competitive. Following their performance at the Monterey Jazz Festival, some jazz students had the opportunity to spend time backstage with Harry Connick Jr.'s trumpet player. Congratulations to all!
