Coffee Fundraiser

We are hoping to start a new coffee fundraiser in partnership with the El Dorado Roasting Company. El Dorado Roasting Company is a local family-owned and operated handcrafted specialty coffee roaster & tea company. The Boosters would set up a coffee ordering system and would earn $4.00 per bag of coffee sold. This could be a great money-maker for the Boosters. We just need a volunteer to get it organized. It's not expected to be a time-consuming job. We already have a parent who has volunteered to pick up the coffee and bring it to Folsom for distribution. If interested, please contact Mary Slusser at President@FolsomMusic.org or (916) 320-8137.

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!
