Bookmarks from Japan 1. Mount Fuji "Fuji-san" by Julie Giroux

I recently play this symphony with Ray Cramer as the conductor. One of the greatest things I have ever been a part of.

I was conducted through these 6 pieces by none other than Ray Cramer, the man that is conducting in this video. He is a marvelous man that has many great stories and truly brings this piece, and the 5 others, to life. He had such powerful words of inspiration and showed just how much music means to him and a bit of that has rubbed off onto me. He has changed my life, much like I would assume he has for countless other musicians. Everyone deserves to hear his words and wisdom and be graced with his outstanding demeanor.

Just played this a couple hours ago at Mobile, Alabama under Ray Cramer's baton. Funnest honor band I've ever attended by a long shot, and can't wait for All State next year.

Was there as well. Extremely difficult piece, but a wonderful honor to play under Dr. Cramer.

[@hudsondunbar7853]

Dr. Cramer came down to Mobile this week for Alabama All-State, and Red band got to play this symphony. Man, what an experience.

[@tiellochridge]

Recently played 4 out of these 6 pieces with Ray Cramer and this is probably my favorite selection of all the songs I have ever played. And with such an immense band, these gave me chills every time. One of the best experiences of my life.
