Barry Manilow is giving one hundred thousand dollars so a school damaged in the hurricane can buy new band uniforms and instruments. East Duplin High School entered a national contest by the Manilow Music Project. Manilow said he was bombarded with videos from schools around the country, but he announced the North Carolina campus as the winner from his concert stage in Las Vegas. The band teacher said words couldn't describe how thankful he was for the donation.
