Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The WSO will present four programs for audiences of at least 600 people at each concert. Our goal is to engage and connect audiences through the experience of performing and hearing live orchestral music in community with others. Ushers and other volunteers will count audience members, and make note of demographics, at each concert, including youth attending concerts or educational outreach events. Ushers, staff, and board members will conduct formal (email questionnaires) and informal (talking with and personally questioning) polling of audience members and participants about their experiences at each concert.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The WSO was fortunate to encounter a new milestone: With more than 730 people attending our October concert, the church ran out of chairs! We discussed alternative locations within the church to accommodate future overflow crowds through their livestream TV monitors. Our biggest success for the year is that we reached 95% of our budgeted donations for the year without performing our final concert.
