Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the audiences consisting of teens to adult seniors and local performers throughout Northern Minnesota, will have the opportunity to experience different genres of music within driving distance, this year and in the future. Evaluation will occur through a follow up with the planners, who will review the number count of the audience and the responses of the questionnaires from the audience and the musician artists on whether they had a positive experience and would recommend the event to occur next year.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our committee believes that we accomplished the goal. We provided the music of different genres which excited new musicians to pursue the art of music along with providing young and old with exceptional music experiences.
