David Talmage usually goes by Mr. Dave and is excited to lead Lower School Band this year. Mr. Dave is originally from Virginia near the Blue Ridge Mountains and studied music theory at Northern Essex Community College. He is a musician and has performed all over New Hampshire, the United States, and as far away as Seoul, South Korea, where he played fiddle and banjo in an Irish music duo. He has organized musical groups nearby and far away. Recently, in 2020, he traveled on a mission with his church in Newmarket to Guatemala to teacher school-aged children about American music and dancing.
