To develop professionalism in the organization by bringing in more quality programming and adding a fifth program with a local talent.They will use an interview process at the first concert which features Metales M5, a Mexican brass ensemble to evaluate how people feel about this ethnic art form and if they value more innovative programming. They will continue to use a survey form for the other concerts, similar to last year which asks a series of questions about satisfaction and direction for future programs.
