Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To remember and honor those who were victims of the 9-11 tragedy and pay tribute to local first responders including fire, law enforcement, EMTs and others. To show that our community remembers significant events such as the 9-11 tragedy through a choral and orchestra concert. We plan to perform a brief audience survey as well as ask for response from participants in the concert event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most significant outcome was the coming together of so many different people representing various cultural and ethnic groups. The music provided a way to communicate to these people, some of whom could not speak English but who recognized and enjoyed the music selections. When the orchestra played the military salute, everyone enthusiastically participated.
