Neither rain nor wind could stop Firestone High School band marathoners from trying to break the world's record for continuous play, even when their music flapped in the breeze and they had to head for cover. What finally got them, after 87l/2 hours, was plain old exhaustion. The 22 students had been trying to break a Guinness Book of World records entry of 100 hours, 2 minutes, set in 1977 by a Maryland high school band. The marathon was called off at 5:30 a.m. Monday, said Donna Curfman, wife of Firestone band director Scott Curfman. After each tune, the children took a one-minute break. They were allowed a five-minute break every hour, or they could save up the five-minute breaks for some sleep. Current and former band members beean nlavint? at 7 n m 0 f J ?c ? I' Thursday. They played in a tent most of the time, but three times had to go inside to avoid heavy winds and high rain, Curfman said. I CAROLINA WOMEN'S j !
