Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

It is the goal of this project to bring 50 musicians into our community to perform for over 150 people (young, old, families, etc.) event for a total of over 1200 audience members being exposed to different forms of music and dance.A count of performers and audience members will be kept each night. There will also be two surveys given out, one in early July and the other at the end of the series asking for feedback and possible changes for future events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We brought 45 musicians into our community to not only provide entertainment, but some music history and understanding and appreciation of different style of music; Attendance at events ranged from 120 one night to over 300 on another night; We definitely hit our goal of wanting over 1200 people to be able to take advantage of this program, with a count of approximately 1400 people at events this summer.
