PLAYOFF UPDATE:

There is a distinct possibility that the Benet Boys Basketball Team
will be going into the playoffs! We will not know until after Friday, February 12.

However, Benet will NOT be hosting any games, so there will be no extra pep band performances.

 

B E N E T Academy

Pep Band

 
  • This is a requirement of all band students.
  • All games will count as performance grades. 
  • If there are any dates you cannot attend, you must find someone (who plays the same instrument) to sub for you, and you must make up the missed game.  Please fill out and sign the substitution form with your sub and turn it in to Mr. Alifantis (for the WHITE Band) or Mr. Cashdollar (for the RED band)  at least twenty-four hours in advance.
  • Rehearsal for all games BEGINS at 6:00pm in the Rehearsal Room.
  • If you miss a rehearsal or are late to the call-time without first clearing it with Mr. Alifantis or Mr. Cashdollar you forfeit your break during the game.
  • We will use the same flip-folders and system used during Marching Season.  You are responsible for your own music.
  • Uniforms will be nice jeans and the Benet Academy Bands red polo.  Hats are allowed only if they are Benet Academy hats.

Substitution Policy

If you are not able to attend one of your scheduled games, you must follow the following procedure:
1. Find a player of the same instrument in the other basketball band who is willing to sub for you.
2. Agree on a make-up date during which you will take their spot for one of their games.
3. Fill out the sub form with the necessary information, including your signature and the signature of your sub.
4. Turn in the sub form to Mr. Alifantis or Mr. Cashdollar 24 hours in advance.

Hello Incoming Freshmen

All incoming freshmen audition in May, just before the end of the school year. Most  freshmen place into Concert Band, but we have had freshmen place into Wind Ensemble (the top instrumental group) every year.

More information is available during the Welcome To Benet day on February 21, 2010.

You may like to attend one of our upcoming concerts. Our top groups, the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, and Chamber Orchestra will be performing on Thursday, February 25. The 'theme' for the Feb 25th concert is "The USO Concert.'

Please call, or email me regarding tickets for any concert.
