Swallow Hill Music
signed in 815 people with instruments at Red Rocks to try
and break the current record, held by Old Town School of Music
in Chicago, of 1,577 participants, in 2007.
The Guinness World
Book may consider all the people in attendance, regardless of
whether or not they had instruments and signed in with us. The
record of total people in attendance at the lesson was 6,607.
If they accept the application we make regarding this fact, we
will have made the record. However, it will take a process of up
to six months before we will know.
We will publish
developments via our website, our email lists and social
networks. If you're not on our mailing list, you can

Participants can bring any instrument, from guitar to tuba, from
sitar to harmonica, that they can already play at an easy
beginner level to participate in this special historical event.
The special celebrity musicians, along with about 30 members of
Swallow Hill Music School's faculty, will teach the audience of
8,000 how to play and sing two simple songs to put Colorado in
the Guinness World Records.
The lesson will be followed by a jam by our all-star performers
and the audience will be encouraged to play along. This event is
part of the Denver Film Society's annual Film on the Rocks
series and precedes the screening of the film, "Indiana Jones
and the Last Crusade."
This is all part of the
10th Anniversary for the Film on the Rocks series. Swallow Hill,
celebrating 30 years of great music this year,
will also be giving free guitar lessons at every Film on the
Rocks event this summer.
