From WMATA:

“Reconstruction of the Metrorail system will continue over the weekend of May 13-15 with service adjustments on all six lines. Trains will operate as follows:

Red Line trains will operate every 18 minutes.
Orange and Blue Line trains will operate every 20 minutes.
Silver Line trains will operate every 12 minutes between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston only.
Yellow Line trains will operate every 24 minutes between Huntington and Mt. Vernon Sq only.
Green Line trains will operate every 24 minutes.

Red Line
Trains every 18 minutes | 12:01AM Saturday until closing Sunday

Single tracking between Dupont Circle & Van Ness to allow for rail, tie, fastener and insulator renewal.

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!
