A HUGE thank you to all volunteers who played a part in the 2010 Folsom Jazz Festival. Our festival is known as the premier festival in Northern California and there's a reason for that...the hard work and dedication of our music staff and tremendous parent and student volunteers. Special thanks to Natalie Marhauer and her lead committee for their tireless efforts.The festival was attended by over 130 schools. We had to turn schools away because we didn't have enough performance time. And our students made a favorable impression on all. Following the Friday night concert featuring the University of North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band, Steve Wiest, their Grammy-nominated conductor, said that we have an amazing program here in our own little corner of the world that should never be taken for granted. Steve went on to say that the Folsom High School Jazz Band I that performed that evening was better than 35 of the 40 all-star college bands he has mentored in his clinics over the last few years.
