Mr. Riveros recently finished his studies as an EC-12 certified educator in Music at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. While at Texas State, he was part of multiple ensembles including the Texas State Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra, Orquesta del Rio, Steel Band, Percussion Ensemble and Marching Band.
As a percussionist, he spent a lot of time outside the classroom honing his educator and performer skills. These efforts took him to competition at the national level several times with different organizations. He then used the experiences to ground his teaching and standards into high expectations that are achievable by students in any age range. Mr. Riveros has been teaching percussion in the form of private lessons and technician/specialist work for the last 5 years with programs such as the Winston Churchill High School band, and the James Bowie High School band. He recently joined the percussion educational staff at Genesis Drum and Bugle Corps and Arsenal Drum and Bugle Corp.
Mr. Riveros has experience in both open and world class independent ensembles, starting out as the tenor section leader at the Guardians Drum and Bugle Corps, then moving on to playing tenors for Rhythmic force Independent and aging out at Vigilantes Indoor Percussion. In his free time, he enjoys watching and playing soccer as well as working out and playing drum set with his band.
