Munson's Drumcorps Scrapbook

A Tribute To Early California Drumcorps

San Gabriel Senoritas

---

Welcome to my "Oldies" collection of sights and sounds from California's early drumcorps years.

I created this site to preserve some of the old memories for all drum corps fans to enjoy. The Senoritas pictured above are but one of the many all-girls corps from California that existed in the 60's. Other all-girls corps from that era included the Sacramento Capitalaires and the Los Angeles Maryknoll All Girls Corps .

If you have some pictures or sound files you would like to add to this web page, please feel free to email me. This web site will be updated periodically. Thanks for your interest!

I hope you enjoy your visit.
