hahaha this is awesome. From Mess Hall:
“Rochambeau [raw-shahn-boh]
Noun. The game of Rock Paper Scissors (as three words, ro cham beau). The syllables called out by players of Rock Paper Scissors to synchronize their timing.

Tips on how to win:
Costumes, theme songs and a competative edge are what fuels this fire. We suggest practicing against your co-workers, Uber drivers, or even your dog so you can come ready to throw down your best sequence of Rock, Paper and Scissors. We highly suggest you eat, drink and sleep Rock, Paper, Scissors in the days leading up to the competition. Consumption of Troegs beers during the Tournament may enhance your performance as well.”

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!
