Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, residents of Warren will experience different musical styles to expand their exposure to musical genres. Evaluation will occur through the summer months at each concert performance and the days following. The interaction will take place face to face at each event and conversations will be instigated to obtain feedback. Residents will have the opportunity to also comment on Facebook which provides valuable feedback also. Residents are always encouraged to visit with city leaders to improve the experience.
