Individual Stakeholder Influences on Programs Paper |
Programs must often cater to the needs or expectations of many stakeholders, which may include the program administrator and staff, the funding institution, and the community the program serves.

Program Scenario Five
Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony
Organization Mission
The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony’s mission is to educate and advance the skills of young musicians, enabling them to reach their highest potential. The repertoire is often difficult and always challenging, and the young musicians are selected by open auditions held in June of each year.
Values
· Transforming youth and building capable young citizens with a love of music
· Excellence in musicianship and scholarship through challenging and attractive musical opportunities
· Excellence in leadership training and skill development—professionalism, education, integrity, and preparation
· Music education
· Appreciation and mutual respect
· Financial soundness
The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony (SRPYS) strongly encourages its young musicians to participate in their school music programs. SRPYS schedules events to avoid conflicts with school activities, and excuses absences resulting from a school music program. In addition, SRPYS works with local and regional music and arts organizations in strategic efforts to emphasize the important role of music and arts in education and society at all levels of education and government.
Brief Community Description
The community of Santa Rosa loves its music; due to education funding cuts, however, music programs have been eliminated from the public elementary and middle school education programs. Parents and educators alike are concerned that, without this music experience, Santa Rosa youth will lose their appreciation, enjoyment, and participation in music programs within the near future as music education is now limited to the high school and college levels.
