Littleton Middle School / Russell Street Whistle Blowing

This is a clip on the evening news (WBZ-TV) that's a story on my school setting the Guinness World Record for the most whistles blown simultaneously. We had to do it by TONS of protocol, like blowing for 10 seconds straight. If you have any questions about it, drop me message and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. See my blog for a few more details (the address is on my channel). === Other tidbits === Mr. Levine (the coordinator / guy with the megaphone) came up with this idea many years ago, and has been waiting for approval from Guinness for about three and a half years. He finally got approval in April or May (2007) and proceeded to plan it out for the last day of school. The whistles were kinda cruddy (1,440 of them for $60...), but it was still fun. There were a bunch of media people there. There was WBZ radio, WBZ-TV (sometimes better known as channel 4), the Lowell Sun, the Littleton Independent, and the local access channel, channel 8. That's its name. It doesn't have any other name. Just "channel 8". === Notes === According to Mr. Levine, the crowd was actually 721 people (students, teachers, parents, etc.), not 600. Either way, it's pretty impressive. And there were 1,440 whistles. A little more than 600 there... The headphones the reporter had were NOT his. A student brought those in for herself, and he borrowed them. For some reason the anchors just assumed they were his... Also, we WILL be defending this record, year after year. Just re-setting it. We're going to add another school each year (this was the middle and second elementary school), and when we run out, we're gonna start using citizens. Then we're gonna start borrowing people from neighboring towns. === Other Whistle Blowing videos === Radio Story (wbznewsradio): http://youtube.com/watch?v=g09H_6vHmzs Original Footage (kps1232) http://youtube.com/watch?v=tsrbL_64EVI
