In order to guide the concert series in the future, a survey was developed to gather information from the community. The survey was distributed at eight of the nine concerts. In order to receive more feedback, we added an online version on the city's webpage. To date, 73 surveys have been received. Although there is one more concert where the survey will be distributed, the data will most likely reinforce the conclusions from the data already collected.

The following summarizes the results: • Q 1 - The majority of concert goers attend 1-3 concerts per year. • Q2 - Of the four highlighted aspects of the concerts, Location scored highest with 82.19%; followed by Time, Music Variety, and Length of Concert. • Q3 - For the most part, this question was left blank and no resounding suggestion was listed. • Q4 - Of the musical varieties listed in the survey, Country ranked the highest with Rock & Roll just 4% lower in popularity. Other popular types of music include Folk, Big Band, and Jazz. • Q5 - The media outlet providing the majority of the community with information on the series is the Chanhassen Connection, followed by signs in the park, and the Chanhassen Villager. • Q6 - In regards to the concert time, 7-8 pm is the preferred time with 94.52% in agreement. • Q7 - The responses favor the one-hour concert length. • Q8 — 56.16% favored having concessions available, while 34.25% stated it was not important to their concert experience. • Q9 - 58.9% of those surveyed believe a larger amphitheater is not needed. • Q 10 - If, however, an amphitheater were constructed, Lake Ann and Downtown are the preferred sites. Although an amphitheater is preferred at Lake Ann, and a possible second location Downtown, the majority of the survey population would keep the concert where it is with no change to the layout of the City Center Plaza. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the current format for the KleinBank Concert Series continue without modification, e.g. same time, location, and local talent. g:\park\concert series\2015\survey memorandum 8 25 15.docx 1. 2. 3. 2015 KleinBannk Summer Concert Series Survey How many concerts do you attend each summer? ❑ 1-3 What do you like about the concert series? ❑ 4-6 ❑ 5-9 ❑ Location ❑ Time ❑ Length of Concert ❑ Music Variety ❑ Other (please explain): What additions or improvements could be made? 4.
