The Sioux City Community School District has received a boost to its music departments thanks to pop singer Barry Manilow. The District submitted a video to Manilow's Music Project to attempt to win a grant for new band instruments. Manilow made the announcement in Las Vegas and awarded Sioux City one of the top prizes ($20,000). Manilow, who has performed twice in Sioux City over his career, said he was moved by the videos he received from the schools. All of the high schools that entered were competing for the top prize of $100,000 for new instruments.
