It`s not oft we get to cover stories about renowned pop stars coming to the Potomac Communities. It`s even less frequently the stars don`t look and we are forced spend our afternoon speaking with record label public relations people, radio station program managers and a school principal asking "What happened? Where is Usher?
Erroneous reports that Usher would appear Friday at Woodbridge Middle School turned into utter confusion.
A teacher hoping to play the singer to the train for a celebration apparently spilled the beans that he would appear, but had not spoken with the singer or his representatives.
It turns out Usher and pop star Prince Royce, who was also rumored to give an appearance, was never scheduled to appear.
While it`s crucial that if you`re planning an Usher concert you might need to make certain he knows he`s supposed to render up, it`s too important we recall the ground for the school`s celebration.
The students at Woodbridge Middle School did really good on Virginia`s Standards of Learning exams this year. Their scores reflected progress over the late year`s scores and earned them the title "school of excellence."
Looking at the photos captured by our chief photographer, the students were smiling and seemed to have enjoyed their extra day. There was a moon bounce, professional football players, motivational speakers, local politicians, and a singer (though not as well known Usher) who came to do in the school`s gymnasium.
All of that should not be forgotten just because the pop star (who was never supposed to show) didn`t stop by.
It`s also a moral for us a community news organization to be certain that we keep to cover the word and how it affects the communities we serve.
We will also reaffirm our dedication to checking and then double-checking our sources, verifying we take the most accurate information before posting the chronicle to our website.
We weren`t wrong to describe the rumors of Usher coming to Woodbridge, but we could get through a better job understanding why the train was having a celebration and exactly who was supposedly bringing Usher to the school.
