MUSIC ROOM IN NEED OF A COPIER
The copier in the music room is living on borrowed time. Some (well most) of the parts have been discontinued for a while now and each time it breaks down, it becomes more difficult to bring it back to life. If you know of a business that has one they would be willing to donate to the Music Boosters – we are all ears!
Speaking of office products – any donations are greatly appreciated – copier paper, paper cutter, etc. Please contact Mary Slusser @ President@FolsomMusic.org with any information.

Jazz Festival Wrap-Up
The 22nd Annual Folsom Jazz Festival is now a memory. Many thanks to all the parents, students, friends and relatives who volunteered the weeks before, and day of, the Festival.
Every single volunteer position is important and contributes to a successful event. As I walked around I saw well-run venues, judges who were well taken care of, and smiling wristband checkers who must have opened doors hundreds of times welcoming guests into their venues. At the high school, where I spent my daylight hours, our food vendors had a thriving lunch business. It was pretty chilly, but the rain held off. Seeing the quad full of students, parents and other attendees enjoying an hour off eating lunch and the auditorium bulging with concert goers was quite something!
Thank you for making the Jazz Festival a success and for supporting the Folsom High School Music Boosters!
