Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will learn what it takes to 'be in a band' including musicianship, technical and business skills, and communication skills which will be reflected in their participation and performance. UROCK will encourage youth to participate in music as a lifelong activity by allowing the program to be affordable, accessible, and music driven. Each of the campers will complete a written evaluation and will also participate in a group evaluation led by the camp coordinator. Each faculty member will also complete a written evaluation and participate in a group evaluation after the completion of the camp. Rehearsals and performances will be digitally recorded for review by each band and for evaluation purposes. We will track the number students involved (including ages and demographics); number of parents involved; amount of hours of rehearsal by each band; and number of audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful youth arts activity which resulted in increased awareness and skill levels of participants.
