Randy Greenwell
Mr. Randy Greenwell (Indianapolis, IN) taught for 32 years in Indiana public schools, most prominently at Lawrence Central High School, where his marching bands were nationally recognized on several occasions as a Bands of America Regional and Grand National Champion. In addition, his concert bands were equally outstanding, being recognized as the ISSMA State Concert Band Champion on numerous occasions.
After nine years working in the music industry, Greenwell accepted the position as Executive Director of the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA), beginning his tenure in July 2025.
Greenwell has been honored on many occasions for his work as a music educator. In 2001, he was named a Distinguished Citizen of Indianapolis by Mayor Bart Peterson. In addition, Greenwell was the 2001 Indiana Bandmaster of the Year. In 2018, Greenwell was elected to both the Music for All Hall of Fame and the Phi Beta Mu Hall of Fame. He was honored as the 2022 James Calvert Indiana Wind Symphony Music Educator of the Year, and as the 2023 National Federation of State High School Association’s (NFHS) All Region Music Educator of the Year.
Greenwell’s background as a national educational clinician and his continued role as Music Director for the Greenwood Community Band, as well as Professor of Music and Director of Bands at Franklin College, keep him firmly rooted in his passion for music making. His background as a music arranger, judge (DCI, WGI, BOA), and educational clinician help form his experience and willingness to help others whether it be in the pageantry arts, concert, or jazz genres. Greenwell is a life-long learner and is still a very active musician, both as a conductor and trumpet performer.
