Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to create an overwhelmingly positive experience with Swingin' Memories in 2020, producing a 75% participant recommendation rate for peers to get involved in this project the following year and a 70% audience recommendation rate to view the final concert. The Swingin' Memories project will help increase the number of adult participants in our music programming from 75 to 85 in 2020. At the final concert we will offer surveys to audience members to ask for their impression of the concert and willingness to recommend the following year's performance, and in rehearsal following the final concert, we will survey adult participants for feedback on the experience, including their willingness to recommend participation in the following year's Swingin' Memories project. We will use existing tracking measures to determine if we meet our goal to increase our total number of adult program participants from 75 to 85 in 2020.

Measurable Outcome(s)

While were unable to collect data on our proposed outcomes as it was contingent upon receiving feedback from surveys at the end of the project, we did gather the following information: In 2020, the Swingin' Memories Choir had a 46% increase in participation from care center residents and community members compared to 2019.
