Animate cycle through list items

Question

I have a list of words contained within a <div>, the <div> overflow is set to hidden so only one list-item is displayed at a time. I want each list item to slide up one by one but without using the .slideUp() function. I want it to look like as one moves off at the top, the other emerges from the bottom. I also want the list items to loop round.

Here is my HTML:

<div class="band_ticker">
        <ul id="slide">
            <li><h2 class="band">BAND</h2></li>
            <li><h2 class="band">PARTY BAND</h2></li>
            <li><h2 class="band">COPORATE EVENTS</h2></li>
            <li><h2 class="band">WEDDINGS</h2></li>
            <li><h2 class="band">FUNCTION BAND</h2></li>
            </ul>
    </div>

Can I get some help writing the jQuery code to loop through these by animating each item upwards?

Below is some code, originally from the workshop.rs:

JS:

function tick(){
    $('#ticker li:first').animate({'opacity':0}, 200, function () {
    $(this).appendTo($('#ticker')).css('opacity', 1); });
}
setInterval(function(){ tick () }, 4000);

HTML:

<ul id="ticker">
