Since 1984, Star Search has been a staple event for the USA Eastern Territory. After a year at the Westchester center, the 34th Star Search was back in Hershey, PA at the Hershey Lodge. This program has been successful in providing motivation for young people to work hard in their chosen fields of artistic endeavor. This results in skill and self-confidence that enables them to add to the ministry of their Corps and divisions. It is always amazing to see the many teachers and helpers that give selflessly each week along with the Star Search participants give back their gifts to God through music & arts.
