Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We aim to gather at least 400 community members of all ages and backgrounds for this BBQ event and live performance, the event itself has immediate goals of building community connectedness and furthering trust between adults and young people in the community. Furthermore, after the event, the group aims to promote the music video widely among their existing fanbase and beyond and we anticipate at least 10,000 views of the video on YoutTube within the first three months of its release. We will use our Farmers' Market participation counting click device to count unique, individual attendees at the community BBQ (all ages), and a second device to count children (by site, not through a survey or intake form). We will conduct at least five post-performance semi structured interviews with audience/community members to understand the impact of the song on community perception of the song's message and potential to affect positive change, and the impact of the BBQ event on community connectedness.
