ATTENTION ALL CLASSMATES! This update is for those who were able to attend the ’76 Reunion AND for those who were not able to attend.
Special announcement regarding the ’76 Gala Centerpieces

They were not intended to be party favors. Please return these as soon as possible to: Hotel Polaris, c/o Michael Reid, 8989 North Gate Boulevard, Colorado Springs, CO 80921.
Info regarding how to download/upload photos & videos from the ’76 Reunion
Thanks for being part of The Spirit of '76 50th Reunion! We'd love to see the moments you captured, and share those with your classmates too. We've set up a gallery site where you can view and download each other's photos. A link to the professional photographers' photos are coming soon!
To get started: open the gallery here:

There's no app to download or account to create.
UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
1. Open the gallery link on your phone or computer.
2. If prompted, enter your name so we know who shared what.
3. At the top of the page, go to the gallery of the event you want to upload photos to.
4. At the bottom of the page, tap the upload button.
5. Choose the photos and videos you want to share from your camera roll. You can select several at once.

FIND PHOTOS OF YOURSELF
The gallery has a face match feature called MagicFind that pulls up every photo you appear in.
1. In the gallery, tap MagicFind.
2. Take a quick selfie or upload a clear photo of your face. Good lighting and no sunglasses work best.
3. In a few moments, you'll see all the gallery photos you're in.
Everything is saved in full original quality, so share your best shots and download as many as you like.
We ask that you upload your photos & videos as soon as possible so we can continue to remember our magical weekend together, PLUS those who were unable to attend can also enjoy the experience as well.
