Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect that 700 people will attend this performance - with half of those being under the age of 30, and half of those (175) being high school or college students. We expect that 200 patron will complete the survey and, of those 200, 100 of them will be coming to the Paramount for the first time. Lastly, we expect 100 people to remain after the performance for the 30 minute Q and A with the performers. We expect 20 young people will attend the beatboxing workshop on Sunday evening. Ticket data will provide us with the number of patrons who are students. We will identify visually how many patrons will stay for the Q and A and attend the beatboxing workshop. The other outcomes will be measured using the survey that will be contained within all of the programs. A short, separate survey will be created for the beatboxing workshop participants.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We expected 700 to come to this performance - 724 actually attended. We expected 200 people would complete the survey form - however, only 65 turned them in. We expected 20 people to attend the beatboxing workshop, however, even after extensive marketing and communication with high schools and local bands and young musicians, only 19 people came. We expected 100 people to remain for the Q and A after the performance. However, we were thrilled when close to 200 remained for the Q and A.
