As a result of this program, campers will gain knowledge regarding how to successfully prepare for performance auditions. Theater staff will observe daily performances and the dress rehearsal to ensure all campers have a part either onstage or behind the scenes for their final performances. Campers will fill out a survey at the beginning and end of theater camp which will include questions as to what they currently know and what they learned in the program. Theater staff will also observe and review all auditions done by the advanced groups as well as provide feedback on how to successfully audition.","According to survey results, 100% of participants answered yes, they feel better about auditioning for plays and theater skits in the future. Additionally, campers wrote extensively about skills gained in acting, stage production, dance and several other areas. Many also added how much they enjoyed the friendships made, cooperative activities and sense of community that forms while putting on a show.

This would likely lead to future attendance of performances and general support of arts in this region and beyond. BSU students and faculty will receive coaching and insights from EÜenvalds that will provide them with greater knowledge of how to perform his repertoire, a familiarity with the composition process as a whole, and a fostering of high-level performance skills. Members of the visiting high school choirs will receive the afore-mentioned benefits, and will learn from the other choirs' performances. They will increase their knowledge of choral repertoire, witness other directors and conducting styles, and experience performing in a massed choir of nearly 200 singers. To evaluate the listed outcomes for this project, talk-back sessions will be held for BSU students, faculty, and community members during the activities during his residency and choral festival to see how their experiences improved their knowledge, skill, and awareness of composition and choral music in general. Also, members of visiting high school choirs and The Bemidji Choir will have talk-aloud interviews about their experience working with EÜenvalds on his own music (a rare opportunity).","As expected, adult musicians involved fell in love with Ešenvalds's music. Brian Stubbs (director from Brainerd) and Charlie Moe (director from Princeton) wished that opportunities like this continue to occur at Bemidji State.
