The band of the Waikato Rifle Volunteers was perhaps the first band to perform in Hamilton. Their first appearance on parade, under Bandmaster Shannaghan, was on 3 August 1872, where they played 'Yankee Doodle' and 'Finnegan's Wake'. The band played in "good time and key, for which they were heartily applauded by a number of residents who came to hear them". It had only been seven weeks wince the bandmaster stared giving them instruction, "who had never seen a fife or drum before".
