ACHF Arts Access
Provide the local community an opportunity to experience a live music in variety of genres; we are hoping to draw 100+ citizens to see 4-6 different bands. Provide musicians with an opportunity to perform in a beautiful setting to a new audience; we want 90% of the performers to feel that Rosemount is an appreciative community to which they'd like to return and play again. We will estimate attendance by taking photos of crowds throughout the day; afterward we will review the photos to compare to projected attendance. We will do informal interviews with band members to assess value of the event and their interest in returning to Rosemount.
We estimate that we had over 300 people attend over the course of the day to listen to 5 bands. This was up from the previous year.
