Good morning, Oceanside.

Voices Rock California is launching a non-audition adult rock choir led by Oceanside-based choral director Vanessa Gerads on March 17.

The group welcomes all North County singers from Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas + Vista to join in singing familiar rock and pop songs together.

Oceanside Theatre Company will present The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity at the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater from Saturday, March 14 to March 29.

The play critiques the wrestling industry using humor and social commentary and offers an immersive experience with limited onstage seating.

Gas prices in the region have reached $5.23 per gallon, with some pumps in San Diego charging over $6.

Experts advise stacking rewards—combining station discounts, grocery fuel points and cash-back cards—to cut fuel costs by 30 to 40 cents per gallon.

Applications for the 2026 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Program are now available for Oceanside high school seniors on the City website, at high schools and the Public Library; required documents must be submitted by April 15, and recipients will be introduced to donors on May 22 (funded by community donations).

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office has launched a new AI call processing system to reduce wait times for up to 400,000 non-emergency calls each year — emergency calls will continue to be answered by trained dispatchers.
