Over 1000 people will hear the chorus perform. Feedback from audiences will be that they heard new music, and were inspired to become more active in the labor movement. We will solicit post-performance feedback from selected audience members about our musical quality and community impact. We will solicit our members to ensure a safe, inclusive, and productive singing environment.
As described in Statement 1, we see our ongoing influence when labor groups such as the Saint Paul Federation of Teachers and CTUL incorporate music, customized lyrics, and similar tactics into organizing their campaigns. As described in Statement 2, we expect our development of a core repertoire of labor music to be a long-standing outcome.
