Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to raise the quality and number of arts opportunities available to our community members.We will evaluate the project by collecting data from participants and by offering them the chance to participate in future projects.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our major goal was to ensure that the community band continued without folding as a result of drastic cuts in city funding. Our number of community members who attended the concerts completely met our expectations with significantly more numbers attending this summer.
