Abstract
Many adults with musical skills struggle to find outlets for their musical interests. Despite the ubiquity of the internet, it can be difficult to find community music groups unless one knows what one is looking for. This article documents the inventorying and cultural mapping history and development of the Canadian Community Music Group Database, a non-commercial, online resource with over 1600 entries that allows for various forms of data visualization. The author shares his struggles with sustaining the database, while challenging community music researchers in other countries to emulate the aims and purposes of this project in order to better support those who may benefit from a consolidated music participation database and to help advance community music research generally by surfacing issues related to what is and what might be in community music.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
