Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

There is a high-quality audio streaming device available I would like to purchase to put on live performances online with the local DJ collective The Crunchy Bunch. Success will be measured in the amount of folks we can reach to offer our streaming sets to. Comments and support from the community will also be a measurement of success.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to host several live stream DJ sets over the past couple months. Being able to use the device that was purchased with the grant money allowed us to achieve our goal to output the highest quality audio possible for live streaming music.
