Welcome to the Crittenden County Bands Page!

Welcome Crittenden County Band students/family! Your band director is looking forward to teaching you and we are extremely excited to have you as a part of our Crittenden County Band family. As a Crittenden County Band member, you’ll learn to play an instrument, make music with a group and become an active member of the Rocket Band family! As a member of the band family, you’ll be there for your fellow band members and learn to work, communicate, lead the group of the present and be the example for the group of the future. Band students should lead as examples, both in the band room, the rest of the school, and be a representative of the entire band program. Band requires a lot of hard work and determination that will help you grow in your ability to not only play your instrument, but also as a student and young-adult. You’ll also make so many memories in band that will last a lifetime.



Message from the director - Mr. Alex Benoit:
"I am very excited and honored to be the band director here in Crittenden County. My goal is to get this program out into the community and play. I want to grow the program into something that this school and community can be proud of. We'll be playing at home football and basketball games playing pep band music. In class we'll be playing concert band music and preparing for concerts and other public performances. Every group is different; but we are all members of the Rocket Band!"
