Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We expect to reach over 1000 people and perform 10-12 times. We expect that at least once this year a labor event will break into singing without us present because someone who was at one of our events was inspired to engage their community in singing together.We will evaluate based on audience feedback, observance of attendance, and second hand stories of spontaneous singing.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This season, 16 singing artists sang for over 2000 audience members over 12 performances. Returning audience members told us that our quality of sound continues to improve year over year, and that they are grateful for the role we provide in the labor community.
