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.

Practice May 15
The next practice for the May 24 football game is set for Thursday May 15, at 7:00pm in the band room at CHS.
The practice on May 8 featured a formidable and stalwart showing of trumpets and trombones.
The planning committee is still seeking a response from all band and drill team alumni. Please e-mail us and say whether you plan to attend. Even if you're not sure, we really want to hear from you today.
Speaking of today, Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there.

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.

ALUMNI FOOTBALL GAME
The Booster’s Clubs from CHS and Bishop Diego HS have an exciting event planned. There will be an alumni football game between the two rivals on Saturday May 24, 2008. The event will be held at La Playa Stadium (SB City College) at 4:00 in the afternoon, followed by a dinner dance.
We are planning to put together a band, as well. We are also inviting members of the current high school bands (yes, Bishop now has a band). The organizers would like a half time show, but we have not made that commitment as yet. If we have enough people who are interested, we will address that possibility. For now, we have committed to a pep band in the stands.
There is lots of music already on the alumni website for tho0se of you who would like to actually practice. We will be starting Thursday night practices at 7:00 in the CHS band room on May 1. We welcome you to join us for any or all of these rehearsals.
If we do decide to do a half time, we will probably put it together that day (just like we do for the Alumni halftime in September.) We are tentatively thinking about starting around 12:00. Maybe we can work for an hour or so, then have some kind of a lunch and then get back to work.
Please let us know right away if you are interested. More details to follow.

"another opening, another show"
Well a great time was had by all who performed in last night's annual Alumni Halftime, as our Warriors beat the Nipomo Titans 27-20. It was a great game, and we had a blast marching and playing with all the fine musicians in this year's band.

Monty Parsons traveled from Marin County to lead us on the field. And the distance record was set by Laurel Bonczkowski (Carbone) who flew out from Wisconsin.
Langdon Nevens wrote a great field drill for us, which included pinwheels, a diamond formation, and a concert formation for the last number.
Thanks to Elise Unruh and the Warrior Band for inviting us and making us welcome back in our beloved band room, and on the field. Hope we can do it again next year!
More pictures to follow. If you took any, please e-mail them to me, and I'll post them for you.
Feel free to leave a comment. If you want to write a post like this one, instead of a comment, just email that to me and I'll post it right up.

Did you get your halftime mailer?
Back in mid-July, our Director Langdon Nevens sent out a letter to all the alumni on our mailing list. It has all the info for the 2007 halftime reunion. He included an info sheet with RSVP form, and a list of those of us who have participated through 2006.
If you didn't receive your copy - or if like many of us you're so swamped with snail mail that it piles like drifting snow in your house, so you haven't opened it - you can download it right here.
The Letter
The Info Sheet
The Participants List
I know there were a few people there last year who aren't on this list. I suspect that if you decided to attend at the last minute and didn't make the rehearsals - which is perfectly cool - you're probably not on it. So please let us know. It matters that your name be included. E-mail me, and I'll pass it along.
The Music Download Site is not quite finished. I'm waiting for a few more scans, and I'll post here when it's ready.
