Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

In earning this proposal, we could reduce costs to members, allowing more students to join our marching arts program, meaning more accessibility and diversity to an organization that develops character, life skills, leadership, and human connections. This grant enables students of the 728 Marching Arts to perform at a higher level. Students learn new arts skills, and techniques, gain awareness and appreciation for various artistic disciplines, and build their capacity through professional development
