Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participant show-of-hands survey shows that 95% of the respondents enjoyed the singing experience and tried something new. Participant show-of-hands survey shows that 90% wish to continue their participation in the future. We will count audience (for the three performances) and participant numbers (for all activities). During the last rehearsal of the project, we will also do a show of hands survey for participants, asking if they tried something new as a singer and if they would like to continue with the chorus next year.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We showed 20 films chosen by 20 different programmers. As an organization the relies on our volunteers (with only 3 part time paid staff), bringing these voices into the curating process was a win in multiple ways. It ties our volunteers closer into the work we do, and at the same time, it broadens the types of work we offer the public.
