Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attending future square dances is the easiest measurable outcome. To help showcase the instruments and people involved in the musical community and share knowledge of music and dance with the community to increase quality opportunities to participate in a tradition that was the norm 100 years ago.Simple head counts at the time the square dance was held. I envision video recording the dances and posting them on the Midwestern Fiddle Project's facebook page to show how easy and fun the dances are. Flyers would be handed out with links to the page to increase the marketing potential of the events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The original goal was to have a square dance collective with live house bands played on instruments that I have made which would have a direct and immediate impact upon the participants involved.
