Are Blue Angels in El Centro?

Three weeks ago I was out at Superstition OHV area. I heard some activity on the Startup frequency 273.3. Then the planes went to the El Centro Twr freq. Shortly afterward they contacted the tower for clearance for low altitude maneuvers. A little bit later 2 planes crossed in close proximity right over our heads. We could see the pilots helmets in the canopy.
Two different people told me that one of the planes went underneath the power lines at speed right before I got there? These were not the big towers but the smaller power line poles.
Today I was over at Plaster City and picked up lots of activity on Fat Albert ( 236.45 ). This definitely sounded like Blue Angels. It seems a little early for them to be in town though?
