Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase youth and teen participation.Our goal is to acquire fifty new names for our mailing lists annually within three years from events, programs, or components of programs intended to foster youth interest. Increased participation is tracked through name and contact acquistion. Names of new youth participants are collected through registrations for events and mailing list sign-up sheets, and social media. 2: Provide more performing opportunities for bands as well as individuals of all ability levels with a goal to increase the number of performing opportunities within existing programs by 20%. The actual number of performing opportunities available for bands or individual performers during events produced are counted.

Measurable Outcome(s)

109 names in 2011, 23 in 2012, 10 in 2013, and 4 so far in 2014 (incomplete year). New youth contacts in 2013 and 2014 (partial year) equal fourteen.A better measure may be social media, where over 1,000 new names have been added in 2013 alone. After increasing opportunities by 60% in 2013, the number will be maintained at 263 in 2014 despite the loss of a venue that supplied 36 spots annually.
