CITY OF FOLSOM WAG 'n WALK

On March 12th, the City of Folsom Parks & Recreation Department is hosting an event titled “Wag ‘n Walk” at the Willow Hill Reservoir behind Folsom High School. This event is a fun fitness walk for participants and their dog, and as an added benefit, the FHS Music Boosters receive a donation for every applicant that selects our group! This is a non-competitive 3 mile/1.5 mile/half-mile loop trail course that includes a fenced off-leash dog run area!

For more information and applications go to our website www.FolsomMusic.org or call (916) 355-7285. This event is pre-registration only - there will be NO event day registration. Don't forget to select Folsom High School Music Boosters on the application - thank you for your support!

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!
