An evaluation form will be completed by all participating choir students relating what they learned through the day and how they judge the overall experience; specifically 85% or more will have positive comments on the workshop/rehearsal program. Grade level will be noted on the evaluation forms. 2. An evaluation form will be distributed at the evening concert to all attendees within the evening program with a request by person doing the introduction reminding everyone to please complete after the concert; specifically over 75% will express appreciation for the high quality of the performance, greater understanding of pop music, and the opportunity to experience an evening of popular music. Statistical analysis for student and public evaluations will be completed by a qualified statistician and reported back to the school. 3. Engagement by the students during the workshop/rehearsal portion by asking questions, participating in activities and striving to understand and achieve instructions by Kat Perkins to improve their sound and presentation as judged by choir director Kylie Anderson. 4.
