In September 2007 Terry attended the Nashville Songwriting Association International's (NSAI) Song Camp 102 in Nashville. She had a great time, met lots of talented songwriters, learned alot and plans on attending another Song Camp in 2009!
Terry also sings the National Anthem at Victoria Cougar, Victoria Grizzly and Victoria Salmon King hockey games and other events throughout Victoria and she has been known to hit the odd karaoke bar to belt out her favourite tunes!
