Twenty musicians (artists and artist educators) will be involved in the workshops and visits to 11 schools. 1000 adults (audience) will attend performances associated with school workshop, concerts, and youth stages, and 1000 youth (audience) will attend workshop presentations, school concerts, and youth stage performances. School-based clinics and Metro-wide workshops will be evaluated using consistent, project-designed ratings scales completed by students, band directors and clinicians regarding the experience and outcomes. Audience and participant counts will be used to verify the numbers of artists, audiences, and participants in workshops, school concerts and youth stage performances.

Over 1,000 students were reached with school residencies and community-wide workshops. Performance opportunities including over 100 youth delighted over 1,800 audience members in two days at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival.
