Mr. Benjamin C Helton
Dear Parents,

My name is Benjamin Helton and I am the director of bands for the Bloom District.  This is my first year in the district and I am beyond excited to be working with a superb group of kids.  Being a native of the South Suburbs and having family roots in the Bloom District, it truly means a lot to me to be working with the area around my home.

I am a graduate of the University of Illinois where I spent 4 years in the Marching Illini Sousaphone Section, 3 years in the Basketball Band, and performed with over 10 other ensembles on a variety of instruments in my tenure there.  After college, I became the Director of Bands for a small Unit District out in Western Illinois.  I taught grades 1-12 music and band for two years before moving back to my roots in the South Suburbs.

If you ever need to get a hold of me, please, please email me.  I never know which phone I am going to be around, so email is the best way to contact me.

Here's to a promising new year!
