Junk Orchestra Supervisors needed for Guinness World Record attempt at Boomfest

Boomfest is an exciting new 3 day festival for children, young people and families and will be held from Friday 19th – Sunday 21st August in Weston-super-Mare.

The FREE festival will offer a variety of performances and workshops for all ages including live music, dance and free running, theatre, film, comedy, performance poetry, graffiti, BMX-ing, skateboarding and art exhibitions.

One of the festival headline acts is Weapons of Sound and we will be working with them to create a new record for the World’s Largest Junk Orchestra!

We hope to break the current world record of 617 and create of a new world record of 750!

To help us meet the criteria laid down by Guinness World Records we need 15 - 20 responsible adult volunteers to be independent supervisors between 3.30pm – 5.30pm on Saturday 20th August in Clarence Park, Weston-super-Mare.

Their responsibilities would include submitting a signed statement confirming;

ü the number of people attempting the record within their allocated grid (a maximum of 50 people in each grid)

ü all the participants within their grid actively took part in the record attempt

ü all the participants were proficient musicians

Registration for the record attempt will take place throughout the day at Boomfest and participants will be allocated in advance their grid.

Guided by the Main Stage MC the participants will then move to their grids in front of the Main Stage and this is where the independent supervisors will undertake their responsibilities under the guidance of a designated overall Independent Supervisor.
