Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of Phoenix Drumline's The Five Suns is to encourage and extend membership across southwest Minnesota. Another goal is increased attendance at Distant Drums due to the growing excitement generated by such a gripping musical production and the overall growth of publicity measures. Measurement of participation outside the greater-Hutchinson area, students report their town of residence on a season questionnaire. Measurement of increased attendance will be done by taking ticket sales from Distant Drums 2016 and comparing these sales to those of the years prior.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The metrics used to evaluate the impact of the project were two-fold. These were increased ticket sales for the home show and membership expansion (i.e., targeting more students from the greater-Southwest Minnesota area).
