Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases through encouraging teachers to give extra credit to students who participate. Evaluation will occur through follow-up meeting with project planners, interviews, notes, and audience count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The performance was entertaining and educational. Mark Bridge did an excellent job demonstrating and talking about instruments from the past and to perform with them with music and song. Several board members were present to evaluate the show and audience reactions.
