<div dir="ltr">I totally understand the concern. <br><br>I don't know if I have stressed it before, but team photos are 100% optional.

It won't be like this next time either, we just wanted to try to take advantage of what the location has to offer. <br></div><div><br></div><div>-Kendall (diablo_rojo)<br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 2:11 PM Sean McGinnis <<a href="mailto:sean.mcginnis@gmail.com">sean.mcginnis@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 3:56 PM, Kendall Nelson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kennelson11@gmail.com" target="_blank">kennelson11@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Updates!<br><br></div>So, we have gotten permission to do photos down on the pitch at the stadium which is awesome! <br></div><br></div>The only issue is that we need to condense into a more dense blocks (Tuesday afternoon or Thursday morning) so looking at the schedule we have to move some teams.
