72-Hour Brass Marathon in Nürnberg Seeks World Record

Organisers have submitted photos, videos and participant signatures to the Rekord‑Institut Deutschland for formal verification.

Overview

  • A continuous 72-hour trombone and brass concert ran at Nürnberg’s Jakobskirche and concluded with a church service on Sunday morning.
  • Organisers said roughly 1,800 musicians from more than 140 Bavarian brass choirs took part, performing in tightly scheduled 90-minute rotating shifts.
  • Event staff documented the marathon with time-stamped photos, video and participant signatures to meet the Rekord‑Institut Deutschland’s evidence requirements.
  • The Rekord‑Institut Deutschland told organisers it will take one to two working days to review the materials and decide whether to certify the attempt, so the claim remains pending.
  • Organisers described intense logistics and little sleep for participants during the three days and noted there was no prior official record for the longest continuous trombone concert, with a 24-hour Hamburg event in 2023 as a precedent.
