MSJC Students Get Exclusive Backstage Access and Hands-On Industry Experience with Wu-Tang Clan, Dolby, and the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus

Date:

Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) continues to open doors for students pursuing careers in the music industry, thanks to an unforgettable opportunity made possible by long-standing partner Dolby Atmos.

On June 20, 2025, two MSJC audio students, Guy Reita and Barry Pashal, received exclusive backstage access to the Wu-Tang Clan concert in Ontario, California, as part of the group’s final North American tour. The students were invited to work alongside industry professionals for a full day of immersive, hands-on production aboard the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus—a mobile state-of-the-art recording studio and production facility.

MSJC Audio Technology Instructor with the Creative Media Program, Bob Bozonelos, emphasized the impact of this unique opportunity on student learning and career development, stating: “Through this collaboration with Dolby and the Lennon Bus, our students recorded, performed, and created music in Dolby Atmos alongside professional engineers and artists.”

Highlights of the experience included student Barry Pashal laying down bass tracks, Bozonelos recording guitar, and student Guy Reita engaging in valuable networking with the Wu-Tang tour team. From recording sessions to backstage insights, the experience gave MSJC students a front-row seat to real-world music production.

The iconic Dolby Atmos-branded John Lennon Educational Tour Bus served as a mobile production studio where MSJC students recorded and mixed music on-site.

“Experiences like this elevate our program, deepen student engagement, and reinforce why we do what we do,” Bozonelos added.

MSJC is proud to be an educational partner with world-renowned organizations, such as Dolby Atmos, to provide students with high-impact learning experiences that connect classroom knowledge to industry practice. This latest collaboration reflects MSJC’s ongoing commitment to student success and career readiness in the creative arts.
