Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will perform at 25 or more facilities that serve seniors, memory-impaired and other disabled adults. We will not only bring entertainment and camaraderie to an often-isolated community, but also demonstrate an active and involved lifestyle for seniors. We keep track of the venues in which we perform; we frequently receive post-performance feedback from facility activity directors and residents; and most importantly, we are invited back for repeat performances within the same year or in following years.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We brought live music to more than 1800 seniors. Hundreds of non-seniors saw us at the State Fair and Hilde Center. We received an unusually large amount of feedback from activity directors at venues where we have performed in past years that this is the best they have ever seen us. Clearly the quality of our music and performance are improving as we attract new members and "sing-out" more often.
