Also, in May 2002, the chorus welcomed Sherry Feller as Associate Director of High Country Chorus. Sherry has a degree in Vocal Music Education and brings a wealth of experience in both vocal and instrumental music to our chorus. Sherry was introduced to Sweet Adelines by her mother, who was a member of the Irish Hills Chorus in southeastern Michigan.

In 1974, Sherry, husband Kim and son Daniel, moved to California where she “happened on" Sweet Adelines again, singing tenor as a charter member of Blossom Hill Chorus. She became assistant director, vice president and the chorus representative to the Region and sang in a quartet, Ladies Night Out.

In the spring of 1977, Sherry, 4 months pregnant, now singing lead, competed with her quartet Sound Arrangement, placing in the top ten. That same year, her chorus in their first contest won the Small Chorus Award. After the birth of daughter, Erica, she took a leave returning 2 years later to the big chorus in town, Mission Valley. With Mission Valley, she experienced placing 1^st at region and competing on the International stage placing 9^th in St. Louis, 1979 and in Phoenix in 1982 earning a 5^th place medal.

In 1984, the Feller family moved to Evergreen where they have resided ever since. In 1986, she became a member of High Country where in her first competition with them earned Gold in Hawaii, 1987. Her years with High Country have been filled with education, teaching and learning from the best in director’s and coaches. She has been Assistant Director, Front Row member, Lead Section leader, YWIH coordinator, Regional YWIH Coordinator and in 2001 was nominated by the Region for the International award of MENC of the year. For the past four years, she has been quarteting with the "DayTimers" taking day time performances for the chorus and starting last year in her registered quartet, Harmony Works, where I competed again after 31 yearsJ I can't wait for this year!

As of this update, Sherry has three grandchildren from her son Dan and wife Jennifer. She is known as Gigi to Elizabeth, 7; Ryan 5 and Brandon 3. Daughter Erica lives and works in Colorado Springs where she enjoys singing as well with her worship team and the occasional wedding.
