Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Up to 300 young men, and their choral educators, will participate in Real Men Sing 2015. We will count and register all young men and their choral directors, and administer post-event surveys.
Measurable Outcome(s)
153 young artists and 9 music educators participated and performed at Real Men Sing. They had a memorable time singing in an inter-generational ensemble, observed positive role models and succeeded as performers in the final concert. 76% felt that their interest in barbershop music had increased and 66% said that they would increase their involvement in male choral singing after this event.
