Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Will assist in paying for the performances and venues that are free to the general public. Evaluation methods include attendance tracking, how many businesses, organizations and individual sponsors we can achieve. Optional survey on our website in order to open areas of improvement or if any specific music or venues are requested and more.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Great audience attendance. Implemented a new Children's Concert in 2017 and went over very well. Rained out once. Audience count tracked. 2018 is going to be a wonderful year with the venue's we already have booked.
