Thurrock Marching Brass and the Marching Band Activity UK Facebook Page entered into the record books. Their effort to stage the 'Longest Line of Fanfare Trumpeters' (valved trumpeters) at the DCUK Essex Show on Sunday 7 September 2014 has been confirmed by Guinness World Records as setting a new World Record.
The attempt beats the previous record set at Horse Guards Parade in 2012, with a total confirmed Fanfare Trumpeters of 105. After submitting all the evidence, which included signed statements from three independent stewards and two independent witnesses, together with photographic and video materials along with a confirmed list of participants and all other necessary signed schedules, documentation and a full copy of the original score, Guinness World Records confirmed in writing that the attempt had been successful late on Tuesday 16 September 2014.
The World Record attempt took shape more than a year ago when John Butler, creator of the Marching Band Activity UK Facebook page and Paul Morgan, Chairman of Thurrock Marching Brass were working together to promote John’s Page, which brings together all types of music and marching organisations in one place to share positive experiences and to give them all a community area which they can all come along to and enjoy.
