Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The free performances of the 1st Brigade Band at the 2016 Vintage Band Festival will provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans and will raise the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in southeastern Minnesota. Through the use of onsite donor cards and audience surveys, festival volunteers will track the names and addresses of attendees at the 1st Brigade Band's performances. Volunteers will also use head counts and videos to estimate audience numbers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

By having the 1st Brigade Band perform four free concerts in different venues, we met our goals of improving access to the arts for more Minnesotans and raising the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in southeastern Minnesota.
