Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Grant activity will reach an audience 10x larger than past. Thirty local K-8 students will perform. Printed flyers handed out will promote concert at Central Park after the parade where we hope to receive $200+ donations and new mailing list signups. A video will be taken along the parade route and will feature student stories and audience response. The number of handouts distributed will be counted as will number of mailing list sign ups and dollars donated during performance at Central Park after parade.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One student moved into Suzuki Book 3; 3 students finished Book 1; 2 new students started + 1 other inquiry because of the parade; 14 students learned at least one new song.
