THE JOHN LENNON EDUCATIONAL TOUR BUS

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a mobile non-profit recording studio.

In its 14th year, it tours the country offering students the opportunity to write, produce and record their own original song.

Recently, it was parked at the Edward J. Milliken Technical Center in Oakdale and 5 very lucky audio production students were selected by their teachers to participate in this wonderful experience.

Out of the thousands of requests that are made each year to this organization, only a couple of hundred of them can be accepted.

Reportedly, The Black Eyed Peas once used this bus to record on the road. It comes equipped with state of the art audio production equipment, instruments and computers. Three on-board engineers are there to help the students. Alex Skolnick, lead guitarist for the metal band Testament, was also there as a special guest to lend guidance.
