Picture sharing site

Hello Band Parents!

Carrie McNealy has created a Shutterfly share site for the Marching Band. This is a great way to view and share pictures throughout the marching band season. People can create new albums on the site to share their photos, as well as download the images to their computers or order prints through Shutterfly. Carrie is happy to walk anyone through the process if they are unfamiliar with how the site works. Just call (720-290-8815) or email her (ecmcnealy@q.com).

Please check it out and add your own photos, if you'd like. Here's the link:
