Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The goal is to provide expanded music listening opportunities for as many area residents as possible. Also providing opportunity for different music groups to perform, as Sunday evening yields few chances to perform. The outdoor setting is popular with the mostly senior citizen audience.The goal is to get as many people to the concerts as possible. We have been averaging between I00 and 150 per evening concert and expect that will be the case this summer. The audience is counted at each performance.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Our goal was to increase attendance. We did not conduct a formal survey, but attendees said they enjoyed the music.
