Programs   |   Girls Drum and Bell Corps   |   Teahouse   |   Spiritual Growth and Support


The Girls Drum and Bell Corps has been one of the brightest jewels in St. Mary's crown for over sixty years.

They were organized in 1940 by Mr John Yehall Chin upon the suggestion of Fr. George Johnson. The Corps struggled a bit through their early days. They started with sticks beating on tables and chairs in the school. But they grew quickly in skill and recognition. Bells added vitality and a unique sound to match their colorful traditional Chinese uniforms. Red and gold headdresses and classical slippers led to a distinct and attractive persona.

Their charm led to numerous invitations throughout California, across the Nation, and even across the Pacific.

This fun group works hard but travels widely to signature events. They are under careful adult supervision. Recruits in the elementary, high school, and college levels are eagerly welcome.
