Calling All Trumpeters

Wanna get into the Guinness Book of World Records?  Here’s your chance.  All you have to do is play the trumpet.   

Erik Semmel of Southington, Connecticut is organizing the Southington Brass Blast.  It's an attempt to beat the Guinness World Record for the Largest Trumpet Ensemble.  The date is April 21, 2012 in Southington Connecticut at noon.  High noon.

The current world record involving 1166 Bolivians was set in 2006.  Although this will be a hard record to beat, we can do it.  A registration form can be found here.  A poster that you can print and display prominently in your office, church, store, school, telephone pole, or board fence can be found here.  Let's spread the word.

Funds raised will be donated to three great causes that benefit kids and music education.  They are the Connecticut Music Educators Association, the SHS Band Backers, and the Mill Foundation for Kids. 

More importantly, though, this is the chance for you, a loved one, or a friend to go down in history and be enshrined forever in the Guinness Book of World Records.  Well, maybe not forever.  But you can be enshrined for a while in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Update:  This post will stay here at the top of the page for the next few weeks.
