Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Increase number of concert audience members at upcoming concert. Provide a unique positive learning experience for students through artist residency. Ticket sales will be compared to past concerts. Surveys will solicit rating and written feedback from students and parents regarding the artist residency, staff, conductors, volunteers, and board members will report anecdotal feedback.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The spring concert had approximately 100 more audience members than other concerts in the season. Even though 14 tickets were refunded due to Midori's cancellation, it was a positive learning experience for Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra students.
