On Tue, October 31st, at 8pm, we’ll be screening the 1978 classic, Halloween, in the back room; we’ll have pumpkins for carving in the main room, patio and up on the deck (and we’ll be picking up the tab for the best pumpkin).

Every fall, we host our annual Halloween drive for DASH … currently, there are 85 kiddos in tow … our aim is to provide costumes and candy so the youngsters can celebrate Halloween at the residence (we’ll be accepting donations until Sun, October 22nd)

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!
