Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to purchase a Bose sound system to allow me to perform at any type of venue I can instead of being restricted to places that provide a sound system. The evaluation plan is simple: to play shows. If awarded the grant I will perform at the Lyric Center for the Arts in Virginia, Minnesota on August 16th, at Virginia Market Square's farmer's market on June 6th, and at the Pasty Festival in Virginia on October 5th. I will also be able to book album release shows in the future when it is finished.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The measurable outcome is that I was able to perform at Virginia Market Square, Pasty Fest, and the Lyric Center for the Arts because I owned the Bose Sound System. I also will be able to play many shows in the future using the Bose Sound System. These shows wouldn't have been possible without the sound system.
