Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We have contacted the volunteer Coordinator at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Red Wing about performing a concert for the inmates. This is a group traditionally underserved by the arts because they can't go out to listen to concerts.Written surveys will sample the opinions of the audience members to evaluate their reactions to the brass band genre and the specific music we play.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal was to bring our music to incarcerated people, and we did this through our concert at the Red Wing Juvenile Correction Facility, where about 150 audience members hard us for the first time.
