DescriptionThe John Lennon Educational Tour Bus was once again present at the Arizona Daily Star’s Battle of the Bands at the historic Rialto Theater in Tucson, Arizona. This year’s winner was Monterey, a ska-core group that won the judges over with their high-energy set and brilliantly layered horn section. The day after the Battle, the 8 members of Monterey stepped aboard the JLETB to record a song and make a music video. The video reflects their high spirit, and their love of jamming, loading in gear, eating cereal, having fun with their friends, and of course, Mister Boots the Cat.

The increasing accessibility of digital technology has led to an amazing expansion of opportunity in the art of digital storytelling. The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has been at the forefront of this new media explosion, having produced daily video projects with students since January of 2001. The Lennon Bus puts state-of-the-art digital video equipment into the hands of workshop participants and teaches the entire digital workflow from story-boarding to DVD burning. Students leave the experience having shot, chopped, scored, and (most importantly) finished an entire digital video production. Using the latest cameras and professional hardware/software solutions including Apple's Final Cut Studio and Bogen Imaging's complete line of grip equipment, tripods, filters, and accessories, participants are exposed to the exciting world of digital videography and learn hot techniques of the trade. The accessibility of professional-quality technology is making it possible for millions of new voices to be heard and the John Lennon Bus is putting these tools into the hands of tomorrow's great digital producers.
