Whoops and squeals from up to 10, 000 pint sized fans echoed through the Brisbane Convention Centre yesterday as baby-pop supergroup Hi-5 bounced on stage.

Five Brisbane shows over two days were the last in the group's 4 month national tours as their album It's a Hi-5 Christmas this week made its debut at No. 4 on the Australian Charts.

Three-year-old cancer patient Shanice Hook-Dries sparked a frenzy when she charged forward and wrapped herself around the legs of Kellie, her favourite Hi-5er.

Her mother, Jimboomba resident Michelle Hook-Dries said Shanice was a patient at the Mater Children's Hospital but had been invited to the party after writing to Hi-5's management.

Royal Children's Hospital yesterday.
"We wrote a letter saying how sick (Shanice) has been and how much she loved Hi-5, and they requested that she come, " Ms Hook-Dries said.

Tiniest "fan" at yesterday's party was six-month-old Siamese twin Alyssa Nolan, who survived separation surgery this year.

Mary Nolan, of Bald Hills on Brisbane's north side, said Alyssa's head bandage had been removed hours before yesterday's concert.
