Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Minnesota State Band will present a series of five concerts, providing high quality live concert band performances focusing on classic and contemporary wind band literature. We will track attendance and audience feedback to measure attendees' opinions and interest in the music selections. After each concert the Board will meet and evaluate the success of the event via feedback received from attendees, band members and Associate Members. Feedback will be solicited from Associate Members and the general audience through a questionnaire included in the concert programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. The Band added two new performance venues. At each concert, half the comments were from people saying that they had never heard of the Minnesota State Band before. And another 25% were from people who knew about the Band, but had never heard us play. 2. Two new pieces were added to the Band's repertoire. Both works will be played often at concerts and ceremonial events for years to come.
