Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will provide access to participation in the arts in the form of orchestral rehearsals and a performance for more Minnesotans not ordinarily included in our concerts. We will invite all former players to participate in the reunion concert. We will use surveys to poll our participants and data collection of attendance figures to determine our participation increase.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We wanted to increase musical opportunities for Minnesotans and we did that by providing the opportunity for former members of the orchestra to play in this performance. Thirty additional players were in the orchestra for the reunion performance.
