Minnesota Festival Support
ACHF Cultural Heritage
Minnesota ensembles increase by about 33%. The new Minnesota bands in 2013 include: Brass Messengers, Century Brass, Klezmerica, New Prague Community Band, and Mariachi mi Tierra. This outcome will be assessed through review of participating groups, keeping an awareness of style diversity. Our current performer plan should meet these project requirements. Besides the five new groups, two more are returning after their 2006 appearances. 2: Advertising to the target audiences will increase exposure and raise attendance. Achievement will be assessed through attendance tallies, and by post-festival surveys, with a special interest in visitor profiles and hometowns. The survey device is distributed in the printed program. Attendees are encouraged to complete this survey, with some door prize incentives.
