Thanks to all who messaged us yesterday: “I was doing a lot of reading after I passed the protest. It’s a horrible situation in Ethiopia. If you haven’t read anything about it, basically, the new Ethiopian government is attacking one region of the country for not wanting to join into a new political system/ supporting the new government that came into power in November. They’ve been slaughtering the people of the region. Eritrea’s government has been helping.”
From the Washington Post:
“Ethiopian and Eritrean forces committed war crimes during an offensive to take control of the town of Axum in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region late last year, with one massacre by Eritrean troops a potential crime against humanity,
according to a report released by Amnesty International on Thursday.”
From Wikipedia:
“The Tigray War is an ongoing armed conflict that began around midnight of 3-4 November 2020 in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. It is between the Tigray Regional Government, led by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), and the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) with reported involvement from the Eritrean Defense Forces. War crimes have been committed by both sides during the conflict.”

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!
