Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase attendance at the community summer bandstand concerts by 107 attendees; an increase from 1,469 to 1,616. 50% of community summer bandstand attendees will learn music education provided by performers throughout the summer. Summer community bandstand concerts will provide a gathering place for all ages. Attendees will enjoy the variety of genres; jazz, country, Christian, soft rock and bluegrass. Track the numbers of attendees at all concerts in the bandstand for summer 2018. Encourage performers to provide music education specific to their genre the day of the bandstand performance. At the close of concerts, attendees will be asked if they improved their music knowledge. Responses will be documented.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successfully provided access to quality musicians for the community. Audience participation met expectations. Vast majority of participants indicated an overall positive cultural experience.
