Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Goals include providing a higher quality sound experience when at a music event, along with increasing the options of venues available to us for performance considerations. With our own sound system and portable risers, our options increase.Goals will be achieved when equipment is received and put into use. Programs are already scheduled that will benefit from these purchases - they will not have to be cancelled if purchases not made, but the quality of the program will be greater because of them.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcomes - able to more easily produce events with own sound system and plan according to our own timetable and not that of one we would have borrowed from. Also confident the in the quality of sound produced by new system. Choir was able to put on professional show with all members in proper positions for sight of conductor and sound projection in venue that was not equipped, on its own, to accommodate a choir. Made for a more professional overall experience for choir and audience.
