Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Offer twelve Concerts on the Green free to the public during the 2015 season. Provide a minimum of two question and answer sessions with musicians. Provide at least one instrument petting zoo with 10-15 youth and professional musicians. To evaluate the program, staff will track the number of activities held outside of the concerts; track the number of youth that participate in the instrument petting zoo; track the number of audience members at each concert. Attendees will complete surveys regarding their experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Twelve concerts were offered free to the public through Concerts on the Green. Question and answer sessions took place with two of the most popular groups. One instrument petting zoo was held during a concert.
