Most number of persons whistling simultaneously

Blowing a whistle indicates two intentions.The first one being drawing the attention of the public by an authority about an alleged misconduct and the second  case could a sign of  expression of excitement among friends.
Nazareth Area High School  took the postive indication of whistle blowing and made it a grand event by making it a world record feat.The songs  'God Bless America'  and 'America the Beautiful' were  whistled by 672 students of the school for 6 minutes ,47.59 seconds in tandem and rhythm.The event took place at Andrew S.Leh Stadium  in 501, East Center Street,Nazareth,Pennsylvania,United States of America on May 27,2011.
The  idea to break the record came from 14-year-old Cameron Ohrwashel, an eighth-grader who wanted to try out things differently.
Last summer, he began looking up for  various records and  the school was also  able to assist him in the effort.
The whistling was documented by recordings and photographs. Upper Nazareth Township Board of Supervisors Chairman Mike Rinker and police Chief Alan Siegfried also served as witnesses.
Ohrwashel liked the idea to whistle and felt that was something the whole school could come together and put up as a collective effort.The whistling experience would always have a positive bearing on the children's mind.Thinking so the middle school principal Kern got convinced with Ohrwashel's idea and the school got together to make this a grand record feat.
