From WMATA:

“The new Potomac Yard-VT Metrorail Station opens Friday at 5 a.m., connecting one of Alexandria’s fastest growing communities to the region.


“Going fast! Fare machines at the new Potomac Yard Station are loaded up with 25,000 commemorative SmarTrip cards available NOW. Get yours today!”

Less than 15 minutes to the nation’s capital, Potomac Yard-VT, on the Blue and Yellow lines, is the 98th station in the Metrorail system.”

“The new station anchors new development in the surrounding community, including housing, retail, commercial space and the new Virginia Tech Innovation Campus expected to open next year. Long-term, it is expected to support 26,000 new jobs and 13,000 new residents.”

“The station was initiated by the City of Alexandria and is funded by tax revenues, developer contributions, federal and state grants, loans, and regional sources. It is Metro’s second infill station since NoMa-Gallaudet U, built between two existing stations, Braddock Road and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Potomac Yard-VT Station will provide customers with convenient access to Metroway and Alexandria DASH bus service and connect to other regional transportation systems, a Bike & Ride facility, and walking paths to the station from the surrounding area. The station does not have parking facilities but is accessible via two pavilions, one on the north side and another to the south.”

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!
