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 frst 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 ofered me my frst season, which was 1987. Nancy and
I had just gotten married, so we like to call NHMF our annual
honeymoon!
Loucky was frst 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 free
concerts 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 fne group of
musicians is in residence at Plymouth State University, waiting to
perform 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 SPOTLIGHT
MARYANN BARNSLEY
Summertime on Plymouths Main Street is the prime time to visit some local businesses. To beat
the 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 diferent people who stop
in.
We have met some very amazing people with even more amazing stories. From locals, to college
students, to tourists who come through our door. We also love interacting with all the kids.
The shops interior ofers a warm welcome and displays a wide variety of ice creams. The
atmosphere is friendly and inviting, and this is apparent to many of those who enter. Barnsley
says, Someone on our Facebook page once commented that we have a Cheers-type feel, a place
where you are welcomed and maybe everyone knows your name, and thats really how we want
the 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 March
15, 2012 they bought the space and began creating their dream shop. Besides the location, the
primary 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 my
parents owned a place on Lake Ossippee for many years. And now that we live up here full time
it feels like were always on vacation; with so much to do in New Hampshire, our shop hardly ever
feels like work.
Barnsley notes her most powerful musical moment as attending Marking the Moment, Plymouths
own musical about the towns history, which premiered last winter. She says, We learned so much
about Plymouth and we continue to try and become as learned as we can about the area we now
call home.
