Mr. Esquivel
Hello! My name is Adrian Esquivel and I am the Oak Run Middle School Head Band Director. I am in my eighth year of teaching and being at Oak Run MS. I teach the beginner saxophone, clarinet/bass clarinet, double reeds, and flutes as well as the Wind Ensemble for the 2024-2025 School Year. In addition to teaching at ORMS, I assist with the NBHS Mighty Unicorn Marching Band during the fall season as a Marching/Woodwind Tech. In addition to marching band, I also teach the Clarinet, Flute and Saxophone Choirs at NBHS.
I attended Texas Lutheran University, Class of 2017, where I received both a Bachelors in Music Education EC-12 and Bachelors in Instrumental Performance (Clarinet Emphasis). While at TLU, I was very involved and performed in several ensembles such as the TLU Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, Chamber Orchestra, Contigo Saxophone Quartet, The Five Woodwind Quintet, and Flute Choir.
I am very excited for this school year and look forward to meeting all of you!
