and professional performers and earn a stipend for their services, as measured by being invited by <br />GYO's 1" String Team to perform with the 1" String and/or given tutor assignments by Music <br />Director. <br />Goal met — 100% of students enrolled as Advanced or Intermediate students have given seven <br />performances this year: American Association of University Women, The Vero Beach Heritage Center, <br />The Fitness and Conditioning Exercise Center, Trio Upward Bound Graduation, the Indian River Estates <br />and the Annual Anniversary for Our Father's Kitchen in Gifford, Florida, and other venues. All of these <br />students now perform with the l' String and two of them have tutor assignments. These performances <br />reveal that the students have improved by 100% in their ability to serve as professional performers. They <br />earned stipends for their performances and their tutoring services, attended the budget workshops, and <br />drastically improved in their abilities to perform at the high standards of performance etiquette in <br />accordance with Gifford Youth Orchestra expectations at our annual concert in November. <br />The Gifford Youth Orchestra's theme for funders is: More violins, less violence, better tomorrows." <br />However our theme for the students is, "Off the Street and On the Stage!" <br />In this last quarter, our program expanded from 24 students to 46 students, reaching more families who <br />have an interest in using cultural arts programs to enrich their child's lives and give them something else <br />to help keep them "Off the Street and On the Stage!" Along with students enrolled in the String Classes, <br />we now have students in our Community Choir and Piano classes which offers youth enrichment for <br />children from age 3 — 18. With these elements from our mission statement, we now have activities four <br />times a week. We could not have achieved this without the help of Children's Services grant.
