Some students endured eating three dry wheat biscuits to meet Stan Walker while one of the school band's musical talents helped them get face-to-face with him.
If you live near Kamo High School you may have heard the soulful voice of Walker and the screaming, clapping and laughing coming from students yesterday.
The New Zealand recording artist performed in front of a gymnasium filled with screaming Kamo High School students yesterdayafter the school won a radio competition.
"I've been [to Whangarei] a few times, it's always good to come here. Especially because I haven't done events at schools for a long time.
"I hadn't even heard of this place [Kamo] before they won the competition," Walker said.
