Conversation with Ray Cramer: One Person Makes a Difference

Clinic Synopsis:

The clinic will focus on the importance of ONE PERSON and the impact it has on the decision-making of another individual. This is a legacy story that needs to be heard by everyone in the music education world. Had it not been for the band director Mr. Zimmerman, would we have a RAY CRAMER and all of the treasury of benefits Mr. Cramer has brought to the band community? Each time any director/teacher thinks he/she is NOT important, we should recount the story of Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Cramer.
