Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to reach at least 350 people between our activities on Saturday and Sunday associated with this project, at least 75 of whom we hope will be children. We hope that surveys or feedback forms will show at least 80% of participants are highly satisfied with the project; and that at least 25% of participants are new to our programming. We will count the audience, both adults and children, at the performances and the number of people participating in children's activities. We will issue a brief survey or feedback form to participants and audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had 205 people in the audience for our Saturday evening concert and 122 people attended our Sunday concert. The Saturday attendees were largely adults. The Sunday attendees were half children and half adults. Since the intent of the Sunday concert was to serve children, we were pleased with this number of participants. Additionally, there were over 50 performers from the community involved.
