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:
Thank you, Carrie!

Update to 2017 Europe Trip Downpayment & Contract Due Date
The payment procedure for the 2017 Europe trip has been updated. Student payments will now be accepted through the Littleton High School bookkeeper or the school Online Payment service accessible from the LHS homepage (not Encore as previously communicated). Chaperones and tag-along guests will make payments through the travel agency handling the trip, AdvantEdge Travel & Tours. More information on this is forthcoming.
Because of this change, contracts have been updated and the downpayment deadline has been extended to Friday, September 4th. Please see Mr. Emmons if you need an updated contract or have any additional questions.
