Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We intend to recruit and have no less than 42 members from the community participate in the Community Band. We intend to offer five free concerts to the area residents plus participate in the 4th of July Parade. We will collect data on band members including; age, how they heard about band, number of years participating and whether it is a worthwhile experience. Will estimate the number attending each concert and, randomly ask demographic questions.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We made a conscientious and successful effort to choose and use program musical literature that was both challenging and entertaining while assuring quality artistic and educational merit. We hoped that Bandshell Park and ice cream would be appreciated.
