Repairing and preserving the structure of the bandshell will increase the longevity of the structure and ensure the safety of the band members and all other event performers and participants. It will also provide safe and secure storage of sound equipment. This project will strengthen our ability to increase the number and diversity of events and performances and draw in larger audiences. This could include having other local bands and theatre groups perform. We will gather feedback from the band and the nonprofit groups regarding attendance numbers. We will gather feedback from people attending events regarding what additional types of performances and events they would be interested in attending at the park. Increased attendance and community interest in more events would indicate success.
