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.

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

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.

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.
