Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase student participation in music education. Progress will be measured by tracking the total number of students enrolled in our programs, the number of students in the new orchestra, and the number of scholarships awarded. 2: Inspire new audiences. Progress will be measured by the number of new performances and the number of children and adults reached.

Measurable Outcome(s)

During GTCYS’ 2014-15 season, they served 860 students - a 7.5% increase over last year, their new orchestra served 77 students, and scholarship awards increased by 21% with $38,030 awarded. GTCYS tracked the total number of students participating in their programs, the number of students in each orchestra, and the number of students applying for and receiving scholarships. 2: GTCYS’ concerts served 9,450 adults and 3,640 children this season. They added three new orchestra performances and small ensembles performed at new venues including the Children’s Hospital. GTCYS tracked the number of attendees at each concert and small ensemble performance as well as the number of adults and children reached. GTCYS also tracked the number of free and discounted tickets and the diversity of venues and audiences.
