The Spring Concert by the Hershey High School Band
on April 22 will feature a composition by one of its own
members, Karl Moyer.

Utilizing the full instrumentation of the Hershey band,
Moyer has scored a different and interesting march by the
Use of novel effects and harmonies.
While composing is a new field for Karl, he has
been actively participating in many other areas of music
for several years. Long a student of the piano and organ,
he has recently accepted the position of church organist in
the Seventh Street Lutheran Church in Lebanon after serv-ing
in a similar capacity in the Annville Lutheran Church
for three years.
Karl has been a competent member, accompanist and
student director of the Hershey High School Chorus. He has
also accompanied and guided many of the vocal ensembles
of the high school. Recently he was honored in being chosen
the organ and piano accompanist, for the All State- High
School Chorus.
He also plays viola in the high school orchestra and the
percussion instruments in the band.
After successfully participating in auditions at the
Lebanon Valley Conservatory of Music, Karl was awarded
a scholarship. Following his graduation from Hershey High
this Spring, he plans to follow the field of Music Education as
his chosen vocation.
