Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

LAMF will provide access to a high quality music experience and increase our total Prelude audience by 10% (to 1,000) with continued and improved use of grassroots marketing teams in each community we will perform. LAMF will show the effectiveness of the Prelude concerts to generate attendance at the August Festival by having 80% of attendees indicate that they plan to attend at least one concert in Brainerd. Audience figures will be collected by headcount and recorded at each concert. A paper evaluation will be given at each concert asking how many previous LAMF events individuals have attended, whether they plan to attend future events in 2017, where they reside, and requesting feedback on the concert. E-mail information will also be requested.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful Chamber Music prelude series. Audience participation increased by 15%. Continuing to track and evaluate effectiveness of driving audience members to remainder of festival.
