On Thursday 2nd June, Primary 6 pupils traveled to the Almondvale football stadium to participate in a world record attempt.

The attempt was to break the record for the largest Djembe drum ensemble, sustained for five minutes.

After working very hard in our music workshops, we arrived to sit in the front two rows, in our purple baseball caps.  We practiced the different sections and fills.  The noise in the stadium was incredible with over 400 pupils all playing the different rhythms at the same time!

We had lots of pictures and video clips taken from a variety of places, including a drone cam!

After a tense few minutes while the stewards collated their information, Anna from “Officially Amazing” announced to the excited audience that we had broken the world record and sustained the performance for 6 minutes 20 seconds!

We were delighted!  What an amazing experience and we are really looking forward to displaying our certificate proudly in our school.

(Thank-you to the parents/carers who were able to come along to the event to support us!)
