Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Teach elementary and secondary age students a variety of choral music that they are able to perform publicly. Twice a year, the students will perform their repertoire for a public audience. Their proficiency will be measured by the audiences’ reaction and desire to return. 2: Increase participation in the Mankato Children's Chorus through rigorous outreach and communication. Membership is tracked on an annual basis. An increase in membership both mid-season and at the start of the fall 2018 season will show success in this outcome.
