Marquee, her Florida quartet, was a 4-time Region 9 medalist and an International wildcard selection. Another former quartet of hers, Reckon So, won the SAI Region 23 championship 4 times and competed internationally an equal number of years. Sherry's current quartet, Fiddlestix, earned a wildcard invitation to compete at the International competition in Calgary, AB, Canada in October, 2007.

Sherry continues to be an active chorus, quartet and individual vocal and visual coach and is a member of MENC. She has 3 grown children who all live in Nashville. She says those wonderful kids and music are her inspiration! At the end of every rehearsal, Sherry tells the chorus to "make the dash count" hoping to inspire the singers to be all they can be each week. Those of you who've heard that poem will appreciate the aphorism. TuneTown Show Chorus is fortunate to have this gifted, dedicated and talented woman as our director.
