Update from SafeDC:
“The Tornado Watch for the District has been canceled by the National Weather Service.”
From MPD:
“The National Weather Service has issued a TORNADO WATCH for the District of Columbia effective immediately until 5pm.
· Be prepared. Tornadoes can form from severe thunderstorms with little or no advanced warning.
· Know your safe room in your home, at school, and at work.
· Remain alert for the issuance of warnings.
· The safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement.
· Fit under a work bench or other piece of sturdy furniture.
· If no basement is available, seek shelter on the lowest floor in a hallway or closet.
· Use blankets or pillows to cover your body and always stay away from windows.
· Evacuate mobile homes and vehicles immediately.
· Do not use highway overpasses as shelters.
· If no shelter is available, lie flat in the nearest ditch or other low spot and cover your head with your hands.
· Do not wait to hear or see this tornado before you take action.
· Tornadoes that form at night and those that are rain wrapped may not be visible.”

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!
