CMYO seek ways to guide students to a new approach to how music influences life and understanding the demands and satisfaction making powerful music come alive. We hope to see new audiences find our orchestra concept progressive that challenges the norm for orchestral experiences in the central Minnesota region. For returning audiences, we hope they will find pride in the work that has been accomplished since the beginning in the summer of 2013. Central Minnesota Youth Orchestra will increase the number of students who participate in our program compared to last Fall. Additionally, CMYO will retain at least (60%) of their student base. Out of 35 students, CMYO expects to lose 5 of the current students and maintain about 60% of the students under the COVID. Since 2013, we have increase the yearly student attendance as follows: 16, 22, 35, 39, 43. With changes in schools and recent cuts and the ongoing COVID, we have seen a decline. We are engaging schools to find ways that we can help advocate for their programs and continue our strategy for growth within a quality program. We expect the attendance to increase once the COVID crisis is under better control.; Access ; Learning We will track participation and attendance numbers for this event. Additionally, we will be distributing satisfaction surveys using online Microsoft Forms to participating families of the program. These will allow us to see the impact our programing is having on those who have students who have participated in the programs, and for those who attend the concert. Additionally, we will look at the Quality of Experiences: Overall experience, How organized, the Value, Would the recipient return, other comments.
