Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Expand the training program to provide a more comprehensive music education program. 2. Increase community outreach and notoriety throughout the State of Minnesota and beyond. Use program evaluations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Thirty-one boys completed the training program, exceeding our goal of twenty-five. This was a great success, especially since we increased the standards required for successful completion of the program. We were fortunate to work with ten other musical groups, an increase over our previous years. In addition to collaborations, we participated in several other community events to help showcase our programs and educate the public on what we offer. It was arguably our most successful year ever for collaborations and community outreach.
