Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

500 or more attendees for capstone concerts at each location (Eyota and Kasson). At least 300 participating singers. We will count number of audience members and participating singers. We will conduct a satisfaction survey with directors and use a "graffiti wall" to get feedback from youth (what they like, what should change). We will use Great Northern Union Chorus' feedback consultant.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Goal: 500 people in attendance at each capstone concert. Actual: 601 in Eyota, 885 in Kasson. Goal: 300 singers. Actual: 361 singers.
