2021 saw the birth of the Coronado Philharmonia with its July 4th premier concert. The all-volunteer but mostly professional musicians formed with 18 members. Under the direction and energetic passion of former CoSA music director Osvaldo Mendoza, the group performed two concerts that year. His five years with CoSa had allowed him to meet a cadre of excellent musicians who spread the word about forming the orchestra. Professionals from other San Diego areas signed on. “Everybody was volunteering, and they trusted us, and we didn’t know what to expect.”
A year after the inaugural concert, the orchestra has grown to 58 with the variety of instruments the audience would expect from a symphony. In collaboration with Coronado School of the Arts, the Philharmonia will be performing Holiday in Coronado at the Coronado High School theater on December 3 at 7:30 p.m. more >>Coronado Philharmonia: Holiday Concert In Coronado

Each fall, Rotary Club of Coronado holds a wine-tasting event open to its club members and friends to benefit Rotary International’s campaign, END POLIO NOW. It began over 20 years ago and raised maybe $1,500 that first year.
This year’s event raised $215,000 through a combination of ticket sales, silent and live auction prizes and particular sponsors who gave generously with a goal to wipe polio off the face of the planet. The monies raised by Rotary were then matched two-to-one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. That means this year the Rotary Club of Coronado raised $645,000 toward Rotary International’s goal of raising $50 million worldwide. more >>Rotary Club Of Coronado, Rotarian Carol Sommer And Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Unite To Raise $645,000
At just 18 years of age, local Coronado soccer star CJ Fodrey has accomplished a lot. He’s played at the professional level for the USL League San Diego Loyal, for some of the best development teams in the country, and helped lead Coronado High School to a CIF Open Division final appearance. And now, after one season with the San Diego States men’s soccer team, you can add the Pac-12 Freshman of The Year and First Team All Pac-12 to the honors the young striker has earned.
“Winning the Pac-12 Freshman and being the first team all Pac-12 were two goals that I set for myself at the start of the season,” said Fodrey. “I had made a list for myself and posted it on my wall preseason in my dorm of goals I wanted to have. They were goals more >>Coronado High School Alum CJ Fodrey Named Pac-12 Freshman Of The Year

What can you say? Sometimes it’s just not your day. And for the Coronado Islanders High School football team, Friday night’s game vs. Palo Verde High School would not be their day as they fell to the visiting Yellow Jackets in the CIF DIV Semi-finals by a score of 35-15.
With home-field advantage, the higher seed, and Palo Verde having to make a three and a half hour drive to Coronado for the game, many would have thought the Islanders would have held every advantage, but things didn’t shake out that way.
However, if anyone had taken a gander at the Yellow Jackets regular season, you would have seen a record of 9-1 and a point differential of over +100. They were not your traditional No.7 seed. more >>Islanders Fall To Yellow Jackets In CIF Semi Final Game
