John Lennon Educational Bus Tour
Eight students and three music teachers from Costa Mesa, Estancia and Corona del Mar High Schools participated in an amazing event on Friday, March 27, 2009. They had the opportunity to spend an entire day inside the John Lesson Educational Tour Bus. This incredible facility travels across the nation stopping at high schools and colleges giving students an opportunity to learn what is involved to make a music video. The bus comes equipped with a state the art video and audio production suite. There is normally a two year waiting list, but luck was with us and we were able to take a slot that fell open. Its crew of 3 sleep on the bus as it travels the country. This video above gives you a taste of what this experience is like. Watch and enjoy.
