Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The band will offer local musicians playing and performing opportunities. The free concerts and the band's participation in the July 4 parade provide easy access for everyone to hear band music. An audience survey is done at the concerts. The Austin Chamber hires professional crowd counters for the Freedom Fest events (concert and parade).

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to increase our attendance at the Concerts in the Park but realize we had almost perfect weather. Our CAPSTONE Concert attendance is an estimate.
