IOWA CITY, Iowa - (Iowa's News Now) — The Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band is honoring one of their own. They're raising money to buy piccolos in memory of Kelly Enstrom. Enstrom, a piccolo player in the band, died unexpectedly last year. The money will be used to give instruments to future marching band members to commemorate her.

For centuries, musicians have used sheet music in the form of paper to read and follow along with the song they are playing. But just as books have gone digital, so has sheet music. The Hawkeye Marching Band is reducing their carbon footprint and keeping their students healthy by using an app. (WHO-13 Des Moines)
