Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, those who attend this year's Bluegrass Festival will experience a deeper understanding and knowledge through these opportunities to broaden their connection to the art of bluegrass and understanding of it. On hand teaching and explanation on all levels from the toe tapping rhythm to the introduction of instruments used, and the art of putting it all together to create its unique sound. A pre-event survey will ask “Is this your first time attending a Baudette Depot event? Where do you live? How did you hear about this event? Is bluegrass music and their instruments new to you?” Please rate your overall experience. 5 max, 1 min. A post-event survey will ask Please give an example of what you have learned from workshop and display of music today. Is there any area that you believe needs improvement or you would like to see in future events/ festivals’?

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program audience members will be introduced to bluegrass music by two different bands this year. Those in attendance will be gaining an awareness to bluegrass music and the way in which it is put together. Our educational workshops will spend extra time with individuals and go more in depth with their desire to learn more. Experiencing this music and understanding it through education and knowledge will change the way they previously understood bluegrass music.
