Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

150 or more community members will attend a performance each week educating them on the history of that week's Music background. 85% of the audience members will indicate on their weekly survey that they learned a new appreciation for different styles of music and learned something new about that specific music style. Audience members will fill out a weekly evaluation about that night's performance and provide feedback for future opportunities. We will also gage audience numbers as an indicator if the community is acceptable to different styles of music based on how much participation goes up or down each week.

Measurable Outcome(s)

4 out of the 9 groups we had performed were new to the area and had never performed for people in our community in the past. An average of 95% of the people in attendance each week stated they learned something new that week and that they would be back the following week. An average of 130 people/night attended the 9 different evenings of Music in the Park.
