Little Italian Bombshell Parente Leads Elwood Band
Frank P. Parente Jr., band director at Wendell L. Willkie High School in Elwood, is described with vivid terms as a "little Italian bombshell" and a hot tempered figure. A Logansport native from a musical family, he brings years of trombone and jazz band experience including a 18-member college big band, tours with The Blue Baron Orchestra, and time at IU and Ball State. He pursued music from childhood, shifting from drums to clarinet and sax in school, forming jazz ensembles, and studying at IU and Ball State before beginning his career in Madison County.
