We are seeking an outcome of 500 attendees at the concert - 150 will be youth/students and 350 will be adults. Our goal is to have at least 100 of those patrons be from outside of the immediate St Cloud/Waite Park/Sartell/Sauk Rapids area. A third outcome would be that 75% of respondents would tell us that they would not have attended this performance had it cost money. We would further hope that 75% of survey respondents would indicate that they were new to the chamber orchestra experience. We will use 4 methods for our evaluations. 1) With the Paramount's new ticketing system, we will be able to send a post-show online survey to all emails who reserved tickets. 1) The same survey will be available for manual completion right at the concert. 3) Ticketing system data, and 4) Observations on the day of the performance.
We used the ticketing system, discussion with attendees, and visual observation to determine whether not we had achieved the outcomes. The survey attached to the original application was NOT distributed. When Jay Fishman arrived, the conductor of the Minnesota Sinfonia, he had a survey with him that he wanted to be included in every program. As they were our guests, the decision was made by the Director of Performing Arts, Laurie Johnson, NOT to hand out TWO surveys to our patrons.
