“Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on this one. It’s pretty close to Trinidad, but looks gorgeous. My husband and I will be moving to DC from TN in the fall and are trying to sort out where the ok neighborhoods are (we live in Memphis, so a certain amount of crime is a given)”

The house itself looks nice but doesn’t seemed to have kept any of the original details. This house is on the market for $599,000. Does that seem like a reasonable price? What are your general impressions of the renovations as well as the location itself?

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!
