As a result of this project we hope to see an increase of families by 30 % attending and enjoy orchestral music. We hope a child will love the music so much they will choose to play an instrument in the future. From past surveys requested after the concert, many youth have expressed an interest in performing with us. We offer a movie themed gift pack drawing for each survey completed. This has increased our surveys response tremendously. We monitor the attendance for family groups and encourage children to help us with programs. We interview all ages and ask their favorite piece. We do a physical count of patrons and families. We interview our guests and post on facebook and our page.
