2009 All Class Reunion Videos and photos

  All School Musicians Photo Page


 Hi all, I am resuming work on our site. I will be adding new photos and a Musician page. Please send current photo to coronadobands@sbcglobal.net.

All class reunion is July 3rd. Looking two more bands to reunite that night, interested? coronadobands@sbcglobal.net.

One of the great things about Coronado California was the music scene during the 50's 60's, 70's and on. Great musicians developed through the Coronado school music programs,  through private lessons, or learning to play by ear and jamming with friends.

Some really great talents developed at an early age. We were all aspiring to grow our talents, develop our skills and experiment with new sounds that we heard on the radio, or someone found in the record bin at Perkins Book Worm. 

There was nothing better then getting a new record and working on how to play it, or catching one of the other bands in Coronado at a party or function that already had figured it out, and was playing it.

There was at times a bit of competitiveness between players and bands, but it was more a sense of community of musicians, learning, growing, playing and having fun. A comradely between the bands, as bands were formed and evolved over time. Many friendships from these bands have been a life long relationship. This web site captures the members of these bands and musicians that were part of the Coronado music scene from the 1950's and on. We are just getting started, and we need your help to send us stories, pictures and information that we can add to this web site. Feel free to send us your ideas, photos and input.
