Our Goal Is Your Goal |
The Bishop Noll band has been the crown jewel of Bishop Noll Institute since the early 1930s. It has won countless trophies and competitions during its storied history. The band program disappeared for a series of 8-9 years but was resurrected in 2010 by band director Rocco Carioto “Mr. C” and has carved out a new history for the program, winning national awards at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, for concert band, jazz band and marching band. The band has performed and won all types of major awards in the Chicago Thanksgiving Day parades, Chicago St. Patrick's Day parades, and Chicago Columbus Day parades just to name a few.

Rocco Carioto
Band Director
Rocco specializes in creating and building High School Band Programs. When he came to BNI he had the goal to re-build the band program to its once famed glory. In doing so he has started both the Concert and Marching Bands, a Mariachi Band, a Rock Band Ensemble, a Jazz Band that competes locally and nationally, and a pep band for other indoor sports at Bishop Noll Institute. He focuses equal parts on the skill and fun of Band and music as well as the educational value that music has, starting one of the first Honors Level Bands in the area.
We're Here for Your Student's FutureBoth Mr. Carioto and Bishop Noll Institute are dedicated to creating and nurturing a standard of excellence in their students that is becoming of a BNI Warrior, and of an individual committed to his or her personal achievements and goals.
