Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With these funds the Saint Cloud Municipal Band purchased new pieces of music, rented venues (The Paramount for two concerts, Tech High School and North Junior High School for rehearsals), rented storage facilities, printed programs, and advertised our concerts. The band sold 399 seats at our two Paramount concerts. This was a similar number of attendees as those who came to our 2017 concert, which was not ticketed. Achieved most of the proposed outcomes.
