Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The quality of our musicianship & community performances will be enhanced. Adequate compensation of conductor & accompanist will help further develop the musicianship of our members under the leadership of the conductor & accompanist. Expenses for ACDA will encourage attendance & enhance the experience. Chorale will provide a report of verbal comments received after our concerts, at ice cream social & after Christmas concerts coffee. A survey will measure the increased quality of the musicianship as perceived by members of the chorale. Each member will respond on a scale of 1(strongly disagree) ű 6(strongly agree) to six statements, including ôAs a result of my work in the Bemidji Chorale I have expanded my musical repertoire,ö My understanding of musical dynamics and musical expression is enhanced by singing with Bemidji Chorale,ö and ôMy understanding of rhythms, syncopation, and mixed meter through singing with the Chorale continues to improve.ö

Measurable Outcome(s)

Securing funds to adequately compensate a conductor & accompanist helped further develop the musicianship of our members under the leadership of the conductor & accompanist. Assistance with expenses to attend ACDA meeting encouraged attendance & enhanced the experience for our conductor. Assistance in paying the rent insures that we can continue to use Beaux Arts Ballroom for our spring concert & ice cream social, which we feel is the best venue available at this time.
