Chorus History

We formed in late 1975, when two area choruses (Triple C and Centennial) and part of a third chorus (Jefferson Hills, now Colorado Spirit) merged.
Directors Sylvia Alsbury and Julie Haller led the chorus to 4th place in International Competition when we competed in Los Angeles, in 1978, going on to capture 1st place at International competition in Atlanta in 1980.
The chorus won 3rd place in Kansas City in 1983 and 3rd place in Detroit in 1985 under the direction of Julie Haller.
Sharon Babb joined Julie as co-director in 1986 and together they led High Country to their second International 1st place in Hawaii in 1987.
Vicki Uhr became the director of High Country in 1991, directing us to a 1st place medal at the 1997 Region 8 competition before retiring in 1997. Vickie distinguished the chorus when she wrote the music "How We Sang Today", which was later selected by Sweet Adelines International to become a standard piece in chorus repertoires.
In 1998, we competed at International competition in Nashville with Bobby Gray, Jr., as our director; in 2002 High Country took 1st place in Division AA, Mid-size Chorus for Region 8.
Jacque Reinig and Sherry Feller, became our Director and Associate Director, respectively, in May 2002. Under Jacque's direction we have placed first in the mid-size chorus division for 8 years since 2003. We consistently placed third overall and, in 2006, placed second in Region 8 competition.
