Lessons Learned

1. DO NOT TURN OFF Face Grouping in Google Photos.  This will remove all of the face groups that feed the student albums and cannot be undone.  This took 10s or 100s of hours to setup and fine tune.  I will not help recreating the face groups.

2. Don't publicly share videos of the current year's competition performance (from practices, football half time, or competitions).  Competition judges may have pre-judged our performance based on previously posted videos and cost the band points.

3. Don't publicly share last name or last initial.  Retouch the image to blur the last name/initial before sharing.
