Audience figures will be collected by headcount and recorded at each concert. 2. A paper evaluation will be given at each concert asking how many previous Lakes Area Music Festival events individuals have attended, whether they plan to attend future events in 2014, where they reside, and requesting feedback on the concert. 3. Evaluation of media coverage will be measured by successfully gaining coverage in each community, and by increased attendance.
