BE A PART OF HISTORY WITH 7,000 GUITAR PLAYERS!

On May 27th, 2010, at 7:00pm an attempt will be made to break the World Record for the Largest Guitar Ensemble.

The record that held for the last 7 months was set in Texas, USA in August 2009 at 1867 guitarists. A new record has just been posted (February 26th, 2010) at 6346 guitarists in Poland in May 2009. Globally, there are always groups vying for the guitar record.

The venue for the event is the General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario. This facility has the capacity to hold over 7,000 guitar players. Event organizers are pushing to fill this arena to capacity.

The regulations state that a song must be played in unison for 5 minutes. The song "Takin' Care of Business" was chosen as the rhythm section is simply played on the guitar.

The event is open to all guitar players willing to travel to Oshawa. The students of our school systems, their families and the employees of many regional businesses will contribute to the mass number of participants.
