Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Introduce music to more impoverished youth and those with disabilities. Show how city parks can contribute to this. City parks serve all; the plaza Introduces music to some who cannot afford or access it because of social stigmas schools and private music organizations perpetuate. Event visitors will fill out questionnaires on demographics, performances, and family members' experiences with the music plaza. We will also develop a systematic form and schedule for volunteers to record information about plaza use. A St Olaf collaboration should produce more assessment.
