Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

NOTE-ables will have performed for six different senior communities and completed two public performances, reaching at least 1,000 individuals. NOTE-ables will survey activity directors of senior communities to gauge the appropriateness and enjoyment of the group's performances.NOTE-ables will tally the number of performances and the number of individuals attending at senior communities; we will track all tickets sold for public performances. A survey will be distributed at each senior community after our performances, including a stamped, self-addressed envelope, to make responding as easy as possible. Feedback will be used to enhance future performances and will aid in planning for future seasons.

Measurable Outcome(s)

NOTE-able Singers reached approximately 1,125 audience members at 9 performances at senior communities and for the public. We performed for two senior communities we had not previously worked with.
