The attempt will be made at Centenary Square, Birmingham on Thursday, 20th July 2006 at 5:30pm. Any trombonist is welcome to join in, regardless of age or ability, and become a record-breaker playing alongside over 400 festival delegates, 350 young trombonists from music services across the country, and conducted by the legendary Denis Wick. Both groups will be performing later that evening in Symphony Hall, as part of the ITF Education Day Concert.
The International Trombone Festival is the world's largest event for trombonists and includes a host of international stars in all fields such as soloists Brett Baker, Ian Bousfield, Ben van Dijk, Wycliffe Gordon, Jacques Mauger, Mark Nightingale, and Jiggs Whigham.
