From an email:
What:
Audio/video recording session of “Ready to Live,” a song about fighting HIV/AIDS stigma, to performed live by Caressa Cameron, Miss America 2010, for distribution online and exhibition in clinics and waiting rooms around the world.
When:
Monday 6/6/11, approx. 4:30- 7pm
Where:
Columbia Heights Civic Plaza, corner of 14th & Park Sts. NW, Washington DC, 20010. One block N of the Columbia Heights Metro station.
Who:
A “flash choir” consisting of HIV+ and HIV- performers, identified as such by colorful badges that first hang around necks, then are tossed in a trash can to symbolize how insignificant HIV status will be in a post-stigma world.
Clothes:
Up to you. Just remember that the badges referred to in the previous point need to be concealed under a shirt or top until they all come out at once. So a T-shirt would work, but not, for example, a bikini top.
Pay:
None, but food/drinks/snacks will be provided, you’ll meet a lot of cool people, and it’s a heck of a good cause.
Lyric:
Only three words: “Ready — to — Live.” Easy! (Sheet music available on request, although the part is extremely simple.)
Rhythm:
Must be able to clap on beats 2 and 4. Easy!

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!
