“Dear PoPville,
On my way with a colleague Wednesday, November 29, 2023 8:30am, we witnessed two middle school-aged boys carrying a female student, as they attempted to put her into the public garbage bin at the corner of Q St. and Wisconsin Ave.
It was clear that it wasn’t a case of kids just goofing around; the female student was visibly kicking trying to fight them off. What was even more troubling was the number of adults just standing around watching this WITHOUT HELPING the girl. My colleague and I yelled at the boys and they immediately let the girl go. I’ve lived in Georgetown for 3 years and love it, but today I was disheartened by the indifference of the bystanders to a child in trouble.”

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!
