As a result of this project, the band students at Fisher Public Schools will have a new awareness of what is possible on band instruments sparking their enthusiasm to continue their participation in band for years to come. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting between the project director and the CSB, attendance data at all of the events, and a participant survey created by the CSB for use in their educational residencies that asks about their awareness and attitude towards instrumental music as well as their emotional reaction to participating in and viewing a professional brass residency.
Approximately 250 students were exposed to something new, inspiring, and rare in our small town. We had hoped for a stronger community and regional turnout for the evening performance segment on October 24th; projected attendance goal was 150, actual attendance was about half of that number, approx. 75 persons. I have also learned a lot from this process and my awareness of the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council, and their services will be of benefit to my school and community in the future.
