Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to increase our audience attendance by 10% over last year's spring and fall concerts. We hope to increase River Valley Band membership satisfaction over last year as measured by objective response to questionnaire. Increased audience attendance at concerts by actual count. Survey of Band members satisfaction for the 2 project concerts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Board of the RVB deems that most of project goals were met, including increased attendance, presentation of audience-engaging programs providing growth in musicianship of our members as well as growth in actual numbers of RVB musicians. Getting senior citizens into our audience will require additional effort regarding the day of the week of our concerts. Weekdays will be better than weekends.
