David Shover
Elementary School Chorus Conductor
One month following his graduation from Messiah College in 1985, Mr. Shover began his teaching career in the Camp Hill School District as director of the Senior High Instrumental and Vocal Music Departments. In 1987, Mr. Shover decided to turn his focus solely towards his main passion…vocal music, and became the MS/HS Vocal Music Director. In 1991, Mr. Shover received his Masters Degree in Education from Wilkes University. He is currently doing post-graduate work at Edinboro University. In addition to directing the MS and HS Choruses and Ensembles, he teaches 6th and 7th grade General Music classes as well as Music Theory & Composition. He directs three select extra-curricular vocal ensembles – T he Senior High Mixed Ensemble, The Middle School Mixed Ensemble, and the Camp Hill Vocal Jazz Ensemble. In addition to teaching, he serves as the Music Worship Leader at the Camp Hill United Methodist Church leading the Worship Team and Praise Band. In his spare time, he loves spending time with his family and pursuing his two favorite hobbies – hunting and fishing. This is Mr. Shover’s 24th year teaching in Camp Hill. In the past, he has been invited to guest conduct County Choral Festivals in Perry and Dauphin counties, and also served as guest conductor for the PMEA District 8 Elementary Songfest in Lycoming County. He would like to thank the parents of all students in today ’s festival as well as the Elementary Choral Directors of Dauphin County for the privilege and opportunity to work with these amazing youngsters.
