Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will have a 60% return of participants from last years program, six of which will be student directors in the areas of tech, band, and performers. Our program will reach 3000 people, with performances at the Washington County Fair, Minnesota State Fair, and a nursing home. We will evaluate our program through the rate of return participants, participant feedback, and parent volunteerism. We will also use an electronic survey to be completed by participants and reviewed by the directing staff and performing arts project development committee.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had 20 total participants (3 tech and 17 performers), which is a 34% return rate, with one new participant,. We also had three directors: two served as artistic directors and one tech. Feedback on the final video product was positive, specific areas of praise were the enthusiasm of the performers and commendation for taking the risk of participating in a new format.
