Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project school aged children and adults will have developed an increased understanding and appreciation of music and dance that was so much a part of the cultures that settled in and developed our area. Evaluation will occur through notes related to personal observation counting audience artist and youth numbers and a follow-up meeting with project planners.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Observations were made during the day if the event, which indicated that attendance had increased by at least 15% due to advertising through the local media. The music styles of the three performing groups exposed the attendees to different eras and cultures. Questionnaires were not used but observations and the follow-up meeting were helpful in determining that goals were met, and the project was considered successful.
