Dan Silverman, Citizen of the District of Columbia
This new world we’re living in is still taking shape but the realities of what’s coming are well known. It is no secret that a sledgehammer is coming to hit me and other local media too. I have been really lucky in that I have a little safety net due to those who’ve already been Patreon supporters. Since I am a one man show you guys are my only safety net, there is nobody else to fall back on. These past days have been a blur as I try to manage the site, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram…and my kids. But through it all I’ve seen good humor, support and amazing bonds that have been built over 13 years. These past days have shown that we are an amazing community and we have each others back.
For those who’ve already had my back I can’t thank you enough. Times are about to get way tougher. For many obviously. But if you have found PoPville to be a valuable resource, and you have a steady job with a steady paycheck and only if that’s the case, please consider contributing so that our community will not be in jeopardy in the future. Fortunately we are a HUGE community – so if enough of us give only $2 or $5 a month or whatever you feel comfortable giving it will make a huge difference. Like always, we will get through this together. Thank you. Please be safe and hope to see many of you on the other side toasting the insanity we have just endured, together.

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!
