Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Program and perform concerts in 15 or more communities throughout Minnesota; and 2. bring our music, message, and support to at least seven metro-area schools. We perform at schools, outdoors, businesses, churches, community centers, special events and theaters. Programming examines diverse life experiences. Audiences, singers, school and community partners contribute evaluations. 2: Innovative musical performances will transform hearts and minds and empower member singers, audience members, community singers and OUT in Our Schools student participants. Ticket sales, positive media coverage, and new relationships established. Evaluation tools include evaluations from members, students, faculty, Outreach Tour partners, and audience surveys, telephone calls and statistics.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In our 2015-16 Season One Voice performed in eight communities and five schools for 20,059 people and 1,100 students. Careful records were kept of our performance venues, number of attendees, and their demographics. 2: Our innovative programming has attracted new people. Attendance at ticketed concerts grew by over 200 people. Community concert attendance grew too. We kept records of our performances, conducted audience surveys, tracked media hits, and conducted internal, in-depth surveys of our members.
