Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect a 9% increase in concert attendance and 85% positive responses on our survey from special guests and at least 50 audience members. MCC keeps track of attendance figures through ticket sales. The patron survey and verbal responses will assess knowledge gained from the music selections. It will also tell us what our audience would like to see for future concerts.
