Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of the Balaton Chamber of Commerce’s sponsorship of this children-centered event is to provide a program of entertainment that includes participation and interaction that allows children and adults alike to leave the performance with a positive self-image and realization of their own abilities. Measurable outcome: Based upon the popularity of the 2015 Teddy Bear Band appearance, we anticipate an increase in attendance with a goal of 70 attendees. Evaluation of the event will include: A concise count of event attendees, with distinction between children and adults, will be completed. Area educators in elementary music will be invited to attend and give their input.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Children participating in the program presented with smiling faces, use of imaginations while participating, activities promoting physical activity, and much child and parent interaction were supported by the 36 completed post performance surveys.
