New Participants: of the 25-40 participating teens, our goal is to have at least 6 new to the SOAR Teen Intensive; Musicianship: Choosing a work that will focus on singing to increase vocal performance quality and how to be mindful in using your body as an instrument, Community: To increase community involvement by connecting with 2-3 more organizations or businesses that will help us fill in the gaps financially or through volunteering.; Learning Analyze registration materials for demographics; pre- and post-assessments to students to gauge knowledge and skill as well as confidence level. We will make use of surveys that ask questions such as, In turn, SOAR can use that data for future programing success. Our vocal director, Mary Ann, will record performances of the first full-group rehearsal of one song from the production, and again of a full-group rehearsal at the end of the rehearsal schedule. She will create a rubric to grade various aspects of both performances, including (but not limited to) rhythmic accuracy, note accuracy, dynamics, phrasing, breath support, posture, tone, and blend. With this method, our theater students will effectively be taking a "pre-test" to get a baseline of where they're at before we start instruction, and a "post-test" to gauge their progress reached at the end of the rehearsal process, right before the show goes up. Finally, our goal is to broaden our network of support from area organizations. We plan to connect with multiple organizations to share resources to help with our deficiencies during these unprecedented times.
