The BHS Instrumental Music Department recently added new instruments thanks to a 2025 SCRA Grant, including sousaphones, a drum set, chimes, xylophone, and string instruments for 4th graders.
These additions are already making an impact—on the field at State Marching Festival and in award-winning jazz performances—and will support students for years to come. #BETTerTogether #SCRAIowa
