Over the last 6 months or so the band has been busy helping support charitable organisations and supporting the local arts community.
In November 2015 we played at the Salvation Army Hall in Cambridge for an early Christmas fundraiser. What a great start to the festive season!
In March 2016 we played for the Riverlea Theatre company to help out with their efforts to raise money to buy the land on which Riverlea Theatre sits from the Hamilton City Council. There was musical entertainment from the Big Band and other theatre performers, drinks, supper and a silent auction. A great night was had by all!
In May 2016 we travelled up to Tapu on the Coromandel peninsula to play for a fundraiser dance for the Thames Coast Kiwicare Trust. These guys do great work in helping to take care of our national icon and rehome captured birds to predator free island reserves. The group had dance lessons before the event and the dance floor was well used on the night!
