ESD 113

The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus visited the ESD 113 headquarters in Tumwater in late August. Local students and educators were able to participate in activities on the bus and in classrooms inside the ESD facility.

The Lennon Bus is committed to providing students with increased access to music, audio, video, and broadcast technologies. The program works together with local partners to create free events for middle, high school, and college age students to tour the bus, and participate in the production of music, video and digital photography projects reflective of their ideas and concerns, regardless of their levels of expertise.

Since 1998, the Lennon Bus has provided free hands-on programs to millions of young people at high schools, colleges, Boys and Girls Clubs, music festivals, concerts, conventions and community organizations.

The Bus is a non-profit, state-of-the-art mobile audio and HD video recording and production facility. With the very newest technology and gear, the Bus continues to be dedicated to providing young people with tours of the studios and participation in free songwriting and multimedia production workshops. With the assistance of three on-board engineers, students learn how to write, perform, record, and produce original songs, produce and shoot music videos and documentaries and complete a broadcast quality music video.

According to Yoko Ono Lennon, “This is precisely the kind of project John Lennon would have loved.”
