Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of this project is to provide live musical programs for the community with various styles of music. We also will provide an opportunity for local musicians to perform and demonstrate their skills and talent. We will count the number of audience members at the concerts weekly. At the end of the year, we will have audience members complete a brief survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We counted the attendees and had an evaluation form completed at the final concert. The concerts and bands received a 4.8 out of a possible 5 rating. The comments were all excellent and very positive. We averaged over 160 individuals for each concert.
