Please join us for the Annual Oceanside Jazz Festival at MiraCosta College on Saturday May 5, 2018. I am extremely excited to announce that this year’s featured guest is virtuosic trumpeter Wayne Bergeron.

The educational festival is an all day event. For the past several years we have successfully piloted a new format that has been found to be quite beneficial. Feedback has been very positive from both students and directors.

Wayne Bergeron is enjoying a career as one of the most sought-after trumpet players in the world. As a sideman, Bergeron’s list of recording credits reads like a who’s who in contemporary jazz and pop, running the stylistic gamut from Ray Charles and Barbra Streisand to Green Day and The Dirty Loops. His session work includes over 350 TV & motion picture soundtracks, and Bergeron can be heard as a featured soloist on films such as Minions, Jersey Boys, The Incredibles, Rocky Balboa, The Green Hornet, Despicable Me 2, Leather Heads, The Perfect Game, and numerous TV shows.

Each band will receive…

A customizable 45 minute clinic / performance time slot with three of our world-class adjudicators
