DAVID LOUCKY

Do you ever wonder where great performers got their start?

There are so many musicians that come to town every summer

and it can be incredibly interesting to hear their stories. This

weeks spotlight is focused on the Festivals recent featured

soloist David Loucky. He first joined the Festival in 1986.

I was told that NHMF was looking for a new Principal

Trombonistso I sent the personnel manager a recording and

a resume. Tom Nee, the Music Director at the time, listened to

it and offered me my first season, which was 1987. Nancy and

I had just gotten married, so we like to call NHMF our annual

honeymoon!

Loucky was first involved in music at home, along with his

siblings. All 6 kids in my family started with piano lessons

to learn some basics. My parents tried to take us to any freeconcerts available at Syracuse University to get us interested in

the arts.

When it came time to choose an instrument to learn in school,

Loucky chose the trombone, thinking he would be one of few

students to do so, and also believing that this decision would

help him get into band sooner than other kids.

The trombone I had to play was, shall we say, well-used. The

slide would hardly move! There were huge dents in it. How I

managed to stick to trombone after playing on that horn for 5

years is a real mystery.

In college, Loucky decided to learn euphonium, which he

notes was an easy switch. He then started graduate school

and picked up alto trombone, bass trombone, bass trumpet,and Renaissance trombone. He also learned tuba in order to

teach it at Middle Tennessee State University. He says, I cant

really say that I have a favorite low brass instrument, but I love

the fact that playing so many has given me some amazing

opportunities.

Some of these amazing opportunities include Louckys

performance playing Olivier Messiaens Turangalila Symphony

with the St. Louis Symphony in Carnegie Hall, Bruckners Ninth

Symphony in Viennas Musikverein, and Mahlers Resurrection

Symphony with Nashville Symphony.

Loucky certainly enjoys his time here in town for the summer.

He says, New Hampshire is our beloved home away from home.

Id love for more people to recognize what a fine group of

musicians is in residence at Plymouth State University, waiting toperform for a precious few weeks before returning to our regular

lives in our own communities. The Festival is a real gem in this

region, something to take advantage of and cherish. Its really

exciting for us to perform for a large, appreciative audience.

More than that, we love to get to know audience members in

the lobby or out in the community. How great is that?

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHTMARYANN BARNSLEY

Summertime on Plymouths Main Street is the prime time to visit some local businesses. To beatthe heat, many people venture to M n M Scoops, a local ice cream shop run by Maryann Barnsley.

She says the best part about owning the place is getting to meet all the different people who stopin.

We have met some very amazing people with even more amazing stories. From locals, to collegestudents, to tourists who come through our door. We also love interacting with all the kids.

The shops interior offers a warm welcome and displays a wide variety of ice creams. Theatmosphere is friendly and inviting, and this is apparent to many of those who enter. Barnsleysays, Someone on our Facebook page once commented that we have a Cheers-type feel, a placewhere you are welcomed and maybe everyone knows your name, and thats really how we wantthe shop to feel.

According to their website, Maryann and wife Melinda had been dreaming of opening an ice

cream shop for years when they found the perfect opportunity here in Plymouth. On March15, 2012 they bought the space and began creating their dream shop. Besides the l ocation, theprimary motivation to change their lives and move to town was the spirit of the people here.

Barnsley says she loves the summertime here in town. I spent many vacations here, and myparents owned a place on Lake Ossippee for many years. And now that we live up here full timeit feels like were always on vacation; with so much to do in New Hampshire, our shop hardly everfeels like work.

Barnsley notes her most powerful musical moment as attending Marking the Moment, Plymouthsown musical about the towns history, which premiered last winter. She says, We learned so muchabout Plymouth and we continue to try and become as learned as we can about the area we nowcall home.
