Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The chorus expects to achieve at least a 4.5 average rating on each of the 4 rating criteria on our Performance Evaluation Form from the Activities Coordinator at each of the facilities where we perform these concerts. The rating scale is 1 - 5, where 5 is best. Post-performance feedback is solicited in the following areas: Audience reaction; selection of music; on-stage appearance of the chorus; overall performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We performed 16 concerts as proposed to a total 1053 listeners and received ratings of 4.95 out of a possible 5. Audience members sang along with us enthusiastically when invited to do so (and sometimes even when they were not invited to do so.) The number of smiles in the audience and their invitations to come back soon told us that we had met our objectives.
