Film Premiere – Make No Little Plans: Daniel Burnham and the American City Wed. June 9

This film will be shown where Screen on the Green films are shown on the Mall at 4th Street NW. Ed. Note: It looks like Screen on the Green has been saved as well, I’ll share that in a separate post. In the meantime, this film sounds pretty sweet.

“Kick-off summer by joining us on the National Mall the evening of Wednesday, June 9 for Washington, DC premiere of the new documentary film “Make No Little Plans: Daniel Burnham & the American City.” I know the event will be of interest to you and the readers of PoP.

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!
