I've kinda gotten myself into a mess I guess. there was a lack of communication and a local high school is expecting me to be there tomorrow to shoot a group of 45 students. I have sent model releases in advance so I could have them signed and returned before the shoot, which was not scheduled until TODAY, with only some ideas about it happening, nothing written in stone, in the past. anyways, so I finally get in touch with the guy at the school today and there are no releases signed, and all they care about is the prices/pakages. should I just go shoot the thing and get it over with, or should I tell them I need those releases or else I cannot do it? this will be the last day for the kids to be there as a group (I know, last minute), so a later date would be impossible, according to the guy at the school. thanks folks.

i wouldn't worry about it, they are obviously aware what the picture is for and who it is being sold to so unless you planned on using this for your portfolio or commercial use outside this, theres no real biggie. You always just go extra early and have them sign it right then and there, though you really need their parents sigs if they are under 18
