  • ARE YOU READY to VOTE in PERSON on ELECTION DAY? Montgomery County Will Open 39 Election Day Vote Centers on November 3, 2020, from 7 A.M
    ARE YOU READY TO VOTE IN PERSON ON ELECTION DAY? Montgomery County will open 39 Election Day Vote Centers on November 3, 2020, from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. On Election Day you may vote at any one of Montgomery County’s 39 Election Day Vote Centers. Most polling places will be closed due to the pandemic. Instead, you may vote at any vote center. Same-day registration is available with proof of residency. Due to the pandemic, we will limit the number of people inside vote centers at one time and distance voting booths at least six feet apart. This will result in longer lines and wait times. For the closest Election Day vote center and wait-times, text VC plus your ZIP code to 77788 (Example: VC 20879). Maryland's voting system offers features for accessibility. Please ask the Election Judge about your options. Before you are given a ballot, an Election Judge will tell you, "You have two ways to mark your ballot - either by hand or with the electronic device. Which do you prefer?" You will choose how to mark your ballot. If you requested a ballot by mail, please vote that ballot. There will be a drop box at every in- person voting center, so you can skip the line and drop off your ballot. For additional drop boxes near you, text BOX plus your ZIP code to 77788 (Example: BOX 20879). You may not “trade in” your by-mail ballot at a vote center. If you requested a ballot by mail and try to vote in person, you will need to apply for a provisional ballot, which adds time to your voting experience.

The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.

  • PROGRAM NOTES for Our VIRTUAL CONCERT – SPRING 2020
    PROGRAM NOTES for our VIRTUAL CONCERT – SPRING 2020 MASTERS OF THE BAROQUE - Fall 2013 1. Air (from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major) Johann Sebastian Bach Orchestral Suite No. 3 contains one of Bach’s most famous and sublime pieces—the Air, with its walking bass line, long, lamenting melody, and haunting inner voice dissonances. The orchestra will play it through once and then will be joined by the Chorale humming the instrumental parts. 2. Cum Sancto Spiritu (from Gloria) Antonio Vivaldi Gloria is a setting of the hymn of praise from the traditional Latin Mass. The work is divided into twelve separate movements, the final movement a setting of the wordsCum Sancto Spiritu, in gloria Dei Patris. Amen. Translation: With the Holy Spirit, the glory of God the Father. Amen. This exuberant conclusion is a fugue which Vivaldi adapted from the final section of aGloria composed in 1708 by Giovanni Maria Ruggeri. Vivaldi expanded Ruggeri’s work into a joyous finale in praise of the Holy Spirit. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Spring 2014 3. One (from A Chorus Line) Marvin Hamlisch Set on the bare stage of a Broadway theater, the musical is centered around seventeen Broadway dancers auditioning for spots on a chorus line. A Chorus Line provides a glimpse into the personalities of the performers and the choreographer, as they describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers. A Chorus Line opened at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway July 25, 1975. An unprecedented box office and critical hit, the musical received twelve Tony Award nominations and won nine, in addition to the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
