Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Our goals for these two 35th anniversary concerts are to provide an outstanding learning experience for our 200+ young singers, and to engage our 1000+ audience members at each of the free concert performances. At the end of our season we look closely at the number of current singers who sign up to participate in our program for the next year, and we hope to keep this retention rate above 87%. We will collect feedback from singers, parents, audience members and board members through an online survey. We will evaluate the success of these concerts by looking at the number of audience members that attend and the amount of money donated to Angelica Cantanti Youth Choirs from the free will offerings.
