Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Students and community will learn more about brass ensemble, and the varied musical repertoire it is capable of presenting. Music parents will see increased value in supporting these type of programs for my students. Enthusiasm will grow for future concerts in Wabasha by chamber music groups.The primary form of evaluation is from myself as band director, my students, and the community members that attend the sessions. Copper Street Brass Quintet uses a written feedback survey that I will give to my students to measure the overall reaction to the program, the best portions, and to solicit ideas for improvement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I have already observed the ensemble suggestions being implemented in my high school small ensembles. Students were inspired by the music and have shown increased tendencies to practice and progress. This measurable through our scale testing.
