I only planted it last fall, so it hasn't really had a chance to grow, so I'm wondering if it would be good to trim them all down so they can grow at the same rate.

I have some of this too and just planted last fall. I recall something on the card about cutting it before growing season.
Found this: "'Karl Foerster' is usually free of serious disease or insect problems although a foliar rust disease may appear in particularly wet summers and in situations with poor air circulation. Browsing deer don't bother it.
Little maintenance is required except to cut back the stems to about 6 inches in late winter or early spring. In areas with mild winters the foliage may remain evergreen."
