Coding, Standards, and Compatibility
Our web developer since 2004 is Tim Snoots (Snoots Technology Services LLC). Our web site is currently driven by the Drupal 7 CMS and therefore uses modern web standards. The use of modern web standards assures that our site loads fast, looks great, is accessible, and has a stable, consistent appearance in any modern, standards-compliant web browser on any computer platform. This site has been tested with current versions of the Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Internet Explorer 8/9 web browsers, and on the Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms.
Accessibility
Efforts have been taken to make this web site accessible to all users including those with disabilities. We believe that our site conforms to the best practice guidelines of both the W3C-WAI's "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines" and also U.S. "Section 508" Guidelines for accessibility.
If you have difficulties using our site with assistive technologies please contact us so we can make improvements and correct the problem.

Band Email Distribution Problems
If you are not receiving our From the Band Room email distributions then spam filtering may be to blame. For most email services (e.g., Yahoo, Comcast, Gmail, AOL, etc.). If you are not receiving our emails please look in your email's "spam" or "junk mail" folders for our messages. If the are marked as spam/junk, simply mark them as "not junk" and then also add our email address to your contacts. Simply adding our list's email address to your online address book will typically prevent our emails from being blocked as spam. If you no longer wish to receive our emails at a particular address then please simply request for the president@cariobands.org us to remove your address.
