Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to have 90% of our band members indicate they improved as musicians through the preparation and performance of the winter and spring concerts. We also hope to increase our attendance to 200 audience members for the spring concert. We will conduct a survey of our band members at the end of the spring concert asking them to indicate if they feel they have improved as musicians through the preparation and performance of the winter and spring concerts. We will conduct audience counts at our concerts to determine the total number of attendees.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our most significant outcome was increasing our audience size to over 200 attendees. We achieved this outcome for our spring concert reaching an audience total of 217. Our other outcome was to have 90% of band members say they improved as musicians through the preparation and performance of our spring concerts. On our end of year survey of the band, we had over 90% of members say the had improved.
