In order to keep in touch with band and drill team alumni, I am rebuilding our Yahoo Group mailing list and Web site. We stopped using it for a while, but trying to keep up a mailing list manually proved that an automated group can be very useful.
To subscribe to the mailing list, click here and send an e-mail.
In your e-mail, please give your name, year of graduation from CHS, and what part you played in the band, drill team, flags, etc.
If you need some help,wish to change your subscription or anything, click here and send an e-mail.
If you wish to unsubscribe, click here and send an e-mail.
If you would like to review the Group archive, you must be subscribed and logged in with a Yahoo ID. Here is a link to the archive.
Please note that our Yahoo Group is for annoucements only. Although it will act as a message board for all to post, we don't have that function turned on. But we already have a message board like that at carphighalumni.com. Just scroll down to "Warrior Band Alumni."
If you have comments about the mailing list, you can leave them on this post.

New Google Group Coming
I'm setting up a new message board/e-mail list for us on Google groups.
For the past year or so, I've been sending announcements by regular e-mail, with all your addresses in BCC. (You're not supposed to put the addresses under To, because then everybody sees all the e-mail addresses - there's no privacy.) But now when I do that, AOL is refusing to deliver e-mail to any of its members.
So it was either rebuild a Yahoo Group - with its slow delivery and advertising in the messages - or try a new system.
We will have a homepage also, where you can go to post or read messages. See below.
When you receive the first e-mail from the Google Group, I suggest putting its e-mail address in your address book, and the Web page in your bookmarks.
This should be pretty easy to use. More instructions will follow. If you ever have trouble, you can e-mail me directly.
Update: Google Group Canceled. I put in 39 e-mail addresses to start it, Google said they'd have to review it and get back to me. They never did. What I crock. They have groups with thousands of members. Maybe it just went Fubar. Anyhoo, I'll have to rebuild our old Yahoo Group.
