Jazz Band I to Perform This Thursday

The Music Never Stops Foundation will be hosting a Winter Jazz Series event this Thursday featuring our Jazz Band I. This Foundation was formed after "members of the Sacramento community, including a director of a local music school, parents of music students and adult music students became increasingly aware of the need to assist young and talented music students so that a lack of funding was not a barrier to a young student's continued music education."

The concert will include a jam session with any musician who signs in at the door. Here are the details:

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!
