Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This project was selected to provide the ESS group a chance to reach seniors who have a limited opportunity to experience live musical entertainment so we count the number of audience members at each performance. Also it is to provide an opportunity for audience members to join in the musical experience via a sing-a-long program format and to express themselves to the singers at the conclusion of each program. We always count the number of audience members and record the number each time we sing, At the conclusion of each performance the singers go among the audience and talk with them regarding the things they enjoyed and give post-performance feedback at the next rehearsal.
