From WMATA:
Metro’s multi-year rebuilding effort will continue over the weekend of June 7-9 with service adjustments beginning at 10 p.m. Friday night and continuing through system closing on Sunday.
Red Line – 10 p.m. Fri., June 7 through closing Sun., June 9
Red Line trains will single track through two work zones:
• between Shady Grove and Twinbrook for rail, fastener, insulator and third-rail work; and
• between Rhode Island Ave and Takoma for ongoing platform reconstruction, tie replacement and track maintenance.Throughout the weekend, Red Line trains will operate every 24 minutes between Shady Grove and Glenmont. From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, additional trains will operate between Grosvenor and NoMa-Gallaudet, resulting in service about every 12 minutes between these stations.
To reduce their wait time, riders who normally park at Shady Grove, Rockville, Twinbrook or White Flint may wish to use Grosvenor Station this weekend instead.
Passengers will experience the longer wait time on the platform; once a train departs a station, it is not expected to encounter delays en route.
Orange, Blue, Yellow & Green lines – 10 p.m. Fri., June 7 through closing Sun., June 9Trains on all other lines (Orange, Blue, Yellow and Green) will operate every 18 minutes throughout the weekend to allow for rebuilding work in several work zones:
• between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly for platform reconstruction
• between Mt Vernon Square and U Street for switch replacement, rail renewal and joint elimination
• between East Falls Church and West Falls Church for Silver Line testingNote: Yellow Line trains will operate between Huntington and Fort Totten this weekend.

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!
