Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
To Honor and Salute all Veterans of America's Wars/Conflicts through Music with 56 performers and 388 audience members.Post-performance/Audience surveys were very positive. Our own Bloomington Chorale members were also positive with the performance.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Our audience numbers reached 388 for this performance which was an impressive number; The audience as a whole gave us standing ovations, sang with us on a few of the selections, was quite complementary of our work and abilities for this performance; All of the music selections were geared to the Veterans and their Service Branches. As noted earlier, many were in uniform and stood in some cases.
