Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 350 people will attend four Young People's concerts, 1/3 of whom are children. At least 95% of audience members will respond favorably to the concert. For adults this will be evidenced by responses to audience surveys included in a concert programs. For children, this will be evidenced by children's responses during and after the concert.The first outcome will be measured by audience count. For the second outcome, the outcome will be measured by adults' responses to the survey, the outcome for children will be measured through observations during and after the concert.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We estimated that 350 would attend the four concerts. The total attendance was nearly double the amount, due to the standing-room-only attendance at the Arboretum. Of the audience surveys returned, nearly half were new attendees at the Minnetonka Orchestra concert. Of those 40% provided contact information so we could add them to our mailing list.
