Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the students in East Grand Forks will receive lasting and meaningful learning opportunities that supplements school curricula, and provides an exceptional and unique experience in the arts for all of our community members. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up phone call with the Copper Street Brass, counting actual audience members and student attendees, and through my students and community members' emotional reactions to the residency and performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the music students in East Grand Forks, specifically South Point Elementary, Central Middle and EGF Sr Hi received and participated in a meaningful learning opportunity that will stay with them for years. The community members who attended the evening performance were able to experience a unique, professional and educational concert free of charge.
Alex Wolff and I discussed attendance numbers and attendee comments and we were both very pleased with the outcome.
