“There has been an incident at the Turkey Thicket Recreation Center, but all children are accounted for and safe. The building is on lock-down.
MPD is currently on the scene. There are no reported injuries at this time.
Because the building is on lock-down, children will not be released until the lock down is lifted. Again, all participants are accounted for and safe.”
The parent hears that a gunshot accidentally went off in the pool area from someone who brought a gun in their bag.

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!
