Bergeron rose to prominence as a member of Maynard Ferguson's band in the 1980s.[1] Since then, he has worked on over 400 TV and motion picture soundtracks.[1] As a lead and studio player, he is notable for his ability in the upper register of the instrument, as in his screaming trumpet work in the soundtrack for the 2004 Disney/Pixar animated movie The Incredibles.
Bergeron is on faculty at the Los Angeles College of Music[2] and is principal trumpet for the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.[1]
