Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The laptop will update an aging computer and allow for continued production of audio/video materials for marketing and program enhancement for Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota. The microphones and accessories will provide high quality sound to match the video captured. Past year's quality, viewership, and comments will be weighed against views, comments, and feedback from next year's videos. Increase viewership, likes, and positive comments will be considered effective use of the purchases.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The laptop has created some better outcomes with efficiency in marketing and operational work. The audio work (microphones) will be achieved once our concerts begin in November and we will continue to fine-tune how we use the accessories.
