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!

From the U.S. Botanic Garden:
“Announcing our second corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) bloom of 2024. This six-year-old plant blooming for the first time is a result from our hand-pollination using two of our blooms in 2017. Currently standing at 6’9”, we estimate it might open in peak bloom May 8.”
Oof. Thanks to G. for sending from the 130 block of Florida Avenue, NE: “They put in the bricks, and then took out the bricks and are now putting in the curbs. This photo (below) was taken a couple weeks ago pointing in that direction.” Read More

Bammy’s PR has confirmed that they are indeed open.
Here’s a press release that was issued earlier: Read More
