Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We would like to see an increase in the number of schools and music educators that we engage with this event, and that continue into our LSYC programming. Progress toward these long range goals has already been evidenced in the increase in area music teacher promotion of LSYC programming with their students and the subsequent rise in auditions and enrollment into LSYC programs. The measure-able outcomes are to see an increased number of school participation and an increased number of music teacher engagement. We will measure the outcomes by comparing school participant data from the past years to this year. We will also compare the music educator attendance data from the past years to this year.
