“I took two hits to the head, but my two friends were beat up much worse.”

Attack outside Echostage:
Last Sunday morning while leaving EchoStage, my group of friends were attacked by 6 African American men. It was a random act of violence. I took two hits to the head, but my two friends were beat up much worse. This was a terrible event, but when we reported it to a police officer, he threatened to arrest me.

He didn’t believe us, was clearly anti-LGBT and started citing the different amendments we were violating by reporting this. We were clearly injured, but he refused any assistance, then were mocked by him and his fellow officers. Unfortunately, we were unable to get his badge number, but wanted to put this on everyone’s radar.

The police are here to assist and protect the population, but due to this officer’s anti-LGBT mentality and disregard for the situation, our attackers wont be caught. This will continue a cycle where people feel it is within their right to attack others simply because the police will turn a blind eye to it or even join in on the attack of the victims. Be careful everyone.”

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!
