Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To increase our younger audience patronage. To promote the male chorus/glee club style of music. Emphasis In promotions will include area schools. We will make a concerted effort to provide complimentary tickets to all area school choirs and to others who could not otherwise afford it. A combination of written and verbal evaluations from the artists and audience members as well as data collection, i.e. increased attendance, increased revenues, will be used to measure outcomes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our concert goals were met. We had the largest attendance in recent years for our Christmas concert. The custodian had to open the sanctuary's overflow area. Our guest performers performed well, we saw many smiling faces as they played.
