National Pharmacy Week

K. It's been a LONG time since I posted last but I am back to posting again! I promise...whether you like it or not. :)

Last week was National Pharmacy Week! Yay for Pharmacy!

Just a few cool facts about Pharmacy!

Did you know????.......

• Pharmacists invented Coca-cola, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Root Beer and improved Ginger Ale?!
• They also invented baking powder, matches, Worchestershire sauce and the fire extinguisher!
• (Where would we be without Worchestershire sauce?!!)
• Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was a pharmacist.
• They are one of the top 3 trusted professions since 1989 (yay!)
• Pharmacists can give vaccinations!
• The first appearance of a pharmacist on the big screen was NOT Desperate Housewives! It was "It's a Wonderful Life"

FUN HUH!?

Salt Lake Scottish Festival

Well Folks! The Salt Lake Highland Games were a BLAST!!

It was a bit chilly but stayed rain-free for most of the day! Wahooo.

...soooooo it's taking way too long to process any of the videos onto my blog....all the videos are on my facebook page. Check 'em out!

Make note that we have 2 separate groups within our band: a grade 3 and grade 4. There are 3 videos of the grade 3, which is the band I play in. So if you want to see me! :D ...check out the Grade 3 stuff!

I am the tenor drummer in the middle. (Tenor=The cool drummers that twirl the sticks about)

1) Drum Salute:

In a drum salute competition, pretty much anything goes. You could even walk on with more than one drum on if you dared (makes it hard to walk though). Anyway, it is our chance to just have fun. So 'ere goes.

2) Timed Medley
We play a set of 8 tunes put together. They have to be within a certain amount of time, therefore the "Timed" in Timed Medley.

3) MSR:
Named after the types of tunes you play in the set: March, Strathspey and Reel.

Enjoy.
