Eric Crimmins, Operations Manager
Eric Crimmins is in his third season as the Operations Manager for the Fenton Community Orchestra. He is a retired Band Director from Lake Orion Community School. But - having failed his retirement – he is currently serving as a long-term Band substitute at West Middle School in Rochester.
Eric is also an occasional proofreader for Hal Leonard Music Publishing, and is the Founder and Managing Director of the Southeastern Michigan Wind Ensemble (SEMWE), where he is also the principal saxophonist. While teaching, his Scripps Middle School Cadet Band was selected to perform three times at the Michigan Music Conference. He is also a GRAMMY® nominated music educator.
Eric is in demand as a music adjudicator, clinician, and guest conductor across Michigan. He will be serving as the MSBOA District 2 Middle School Honors Band conductor in March. He plays woodwinds in Metro Detroit pit orchestras, and is the tenor saxophonist in The Cass Saxophone Quartet. With colleagues, he presented the educational session “30 Years Later – Advice for Longevity” at the 2023 Michigan Music Conference. Eric lives in Bloomfield Hills with his husband Brian and their two Bichons Frises Irving and Sidney.
