Most People Dressed as Mobile Phones

The craze for mobile phones only gets bigger and bigger with the younger generation as more forays into the technology takes place. The advent of the smart phones and pocket PCs have become the lifeline of our lives today. About 330 persons of Catherham School displayed themselves as mobile phones wearing the phone like attire and dancing together.  This was just another good way of using the pulse of the people to do something good for the society.

The previous world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as mobile phones counted to 275  participants  organized by open mobile and Motorola in Puerto Rico. The world record attempt was organized by the fifteen Sixth Form students who comprise the Charity Committee at the school, who wanted to create another way of raising funds. 

Every entrant was required to contribute £2. This made the total money raised for charity get accumulated to a little above £50,000. Eighteen UK charities will benefit in addition to Lerang'wa School in Tanzania, Nagydobronyi Református Líceum in Ukraine and Kumbaradi School in India.  David Clark assistant headmaster  said that  the committee had to put a lot of effort for this event. Many students were away on trips and tours  as they were promoting the event for several weeks. It was a huge task to get the 330 participants to rehearse  properly  prior to the final attempt .

Some of the mobile phone designs were exceptional and covered the range from the latest smart phones to some very old styles. It was an enjoyable event and every pupil deserved a credit for making into the world record.

The most number of people dressed a s mobile phones counted to 330 and was set by Catherham School in Harestone Valley Road, Surrey, United Kingdom on July 16, 2012.
