Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through creative advertisements, email and snail mail, we hope to increase our attendance at these Festival Choir concerts by 20% over last year's Festival Choir concerts. We will strive to receive 80% favorable comments from the audience survey each person attending the concerts will be given. We will give audience surveys to each person attending the concert. In addition, each participant of the Festival Choir will be given an exit survey to determine their level of enjoyment and commitment during the 12-week time they will be part of Exultate. We hope for and anticipate a 20% increase in attendance and that will be confirmed by audience counts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In summarizing, we had an 87.5% increase in audience attendance at this project over last year. Mare than 750 people were either in the project or in the audience. We had and continue to have many comments about the success and the enjoyment and the educational value of the project. A great number of individuals were served through this artistic endeavor.
