Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This grant will raise the quality and number of arts opportunities in our region, and address perceived barriers to participation in the arts by demonstrating what brass music at the highest level is and providing professional concert opportunities. 1) Observed behavior change: How engaged are band students in making music at the highest level during band rehearsals? 2) Date: Number of students registering for band. Brass Concert attendance. 3) Interviews: Interest in future musical events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We almost doubled our goals in free will donations and concert attendance.
