Julie McCune, Director  Julie has been directing the Palo Duro Metro Chorus for 12 years. Many of those years, the chorus has been named 1st place in the small chorus division at our regional competitions. She says that has very little to do with her, and lots to do with the hard work these ladies put in. She feels it is an honor to stand in front of them every week and counts it one of the true joys of her life to be associated with Sweet Adelines and this chorus! Besides directing, she also sings with the quartet "Star Struck." She welcomes you to see her anytime at The Flower Gallery , in Amarillo. She has a daughter, Briana, 21, a son-in-law, Raymond, 24, and a son, Jacob, 19. She lives in Canyon, where she has been for...well, a really long time. She is very active in her church, The Summit. She looks forward to meeting you all after the show! Dee Thomas, Assistant Director  Dee joined Sweet Adelines in 1972 in San Diego California. She was a member of San Diego Chapter in 1975 when they became International Champions and in 1977 when they won Second Place at International. She first lived in Amarillo from 1979 to 1984.
