Ryerson students break Guinness World record for cowbell ensemble



Ryerson University, gathering 1,003 students on Wednesday for the feat, broke the record for the world’s largest cowbell ensemble.

Toronto based folk-rock band SEAM lead the crowd through the 1976 Blue Oyster Cult hit “Don’t Fear the Reaper.”

After two minutes, confetti erupted and cheers began as the record was unofficially broken. The record had involved just 640 people in Switzerland, in 2009.

The Orientation Week challenge was the sixth time in a row that Ryerson students have managed to break a Guinness World Record. Previous new records have included the largest beat-box ensemble, the biggest dance class, the largest maracas ensemble and the largest plastic sword fight.
