A group of students gaze in awe at the sleek interiors and cutting edge technology of the The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus (JLETB). They watch a music video made by high school students, sitting on the same sofas as the Black Eyed Peas did a few months ago when they created their latest music album. The JLETB is a nonprofit, global audio-video recording studio that goes around the United States for 10 months of the year.
“We get a group of students on the bus and they write and record an original song,” says Kyle Baudour, an engineer on the bus. “They make a music video from scratch, for free, in eight hours.”
Palo Alto High School students got an opportunity to tour the bus and watch some of the music videos made by students from other schools when the bus stopped here on Sept. 20 and 21.
