“Dear PoP,
When I got out of the movies at Gallery Place last night around 10pm
they had crime scene tape running from the theater all the way out to
the chipotle. There were lots of cops and other emergency personnel
and a firetruck on the street outside. My friend said she saw blood in
the cordoned off area. And of course none of the cops would say what
happened.
Then when I got off the metro at U St. 15 min. later there was a
similar scene. The area that is right in front of the entrance was
cordoned off and metro police cars were crammed in every which way
blocking U St. from 13th to 12th. Didn’t see any blood, but there were
a lot of angry teenagers yelling about harassment.
I didn’t get a crime alert and the only thing I could think of was
that there must have been some retaliations from the earlier fight at
Union Station. Please let me know what you can find out?”

Anyone know what happened at U St?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
