Loon, aka, New Hampshire Highland Games

Last weekend quite a few of us made the trek up north to Loon Mountain and the NH Highland Games.  It was a great weekend with excellent weather and free flowing beverages!

Several of our band members competed both individually and with the NH Pipes and Drums.  Brett and Angus both competed in the juniors, doing exceptionally well. Brett placed second and Angus coming in 5th (out of 13).  Angus was also the youngest competitor and beat out a few husky boys seven years older than himself!

Kelsey and Brian both competed in different drumming events with Kelsey taking first place.  Haven't heard from Brian as to how he placed, but I am sure it was first as he also received drummer of the day in his grade.  In fact, both Brian and Kelsey both received drummer of the day n their respective grades!
 
 
 
Overall it was a great weekend with a lot going on.  Red Hot Chili Pipers and Albannach were a big hit, as was local Vermont band Prydein.  The athletic games are always fun to watch and the sheep dog trials on Friday are always a crowd pleaser!







 

Also, Matt Anderson did a great job in his competitions, as well as the Norwich University Pipes and Drums, too. 
 
 
All in all it was a great weekend, the weather was fine and a lot of good times were to be had!
