The anticipation coupled with the heat of the hall caused a number of girls to faint but none required St John assistance.

In Mai FM's High School Heist competition school students are invited to nominate their school to host a musician, or musicians.

The school won the competition receiving the most votes after one of the students texted the radio station requesting a performance by the chart-topping band.

This is the second high school the band has visited this week having also made an appearance at Cashmere High School in Christchurch.

Formed in Auckland last year, Titanium is the result of The Edge Radio station's promotion to create New Zealand's next boy band.

Members Zac Taylor, Andrew Papas, Jordi Webber, Shaquille Paranihi-Ngauma, Haydn Linsley and T.K Paradza out sang more than 500 people from around the country to be a part of the next boy band.

Although their music is aimed at any age, member Haydn Linsley says the teenage girls are their biggest fans.

'We've done a few high schools before but it does get pretty crazy but we're well prepared.

'Our music really is for everyone. That's how we picture it. People that do listen to our music, anyone can enjoy it but it does seem to be the teenage girls that like it the most.”

After winning The Edge's competition Titanium's debut single ‘Come on Home' went straight to number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart. The band has just come back from touring Australia.

'We were complete strangers before. It's been crazy thinking about all the things we've achieved since we've been together. So it's been a really fast six months for us,” says Hadyn.

Before the band performed the school hosted a Teddy Bear's Picnic.
