Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

About 350 people will enjoy MSC's free collaborative performance at Trinity Lutheran Church, including 40% who have never heard a performance by Music Saint Croix. At least 75% of the audience at each Jokesters and Pranksters concert will engage with musicians at receptions following each performance. Audience counts and ticket sales will indicate attendance; applause, audience comments, and online feedback will indicate enjoyment and engagement. Age, disability and ethnic diversity will be measured by audience observation, taken by board members. Post-performance feedback by audience members at receptions will be the primary indicator of engagement with musicians.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcomes for live performances were not met. Revised outcomes for YouTube release and distribution were met, although the demograhic distribution of listeners/viewers is unknown. About 290 viewers have seen the YouTube videos at this time.
