The Hamilton City Auxiliary Band enjoyed playing in hot conditions at the Waikato Winter Show at Claudelands Event Centre. We played mostly gig pack tunes which the band is starting to know really well: Funk It Up, James Bond, Instant Concert, Bohemian Rhapsody, Can't Take My Eyes off of you, Soul Bossa Nova.
This play out was a special introduction for Samantha, Quinn and Stevie who got to perform for the first time with the Auxiliary Band.
