Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra will provide engaging programming and enjoyable music by local musicians. The Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra would like to attract an audience of at least 250 people. The Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra will enhance its appeal to the audience by showcasing a professional cellist. The Long Prairie Chamber Orchestra will evaluate its program choices by including a survey in its program at the concert. Personal comments, letters, email messages, and Facebook comments will be relied on to provide anecdotal feedback. These comments will be tallied and reviewed by the board. An audience count will be completed at the concert and a graph showing growth will be used to compare numbers from previous concert audience counts. Comments regarding the appreciation of the soloist cello player will be compiled and reviewed by the board.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successfully provided an orchestra concert with stable participation over previous concert. All participants indicated a positive experience
