“It was a really lovely afternoon and we got lots and lots of compliments,” she said.
“It was very entertaining for the audience because we had lots of songs that people know and there were sing-a-longs.”
The Echuca Federal Band started off the two-hour show with a selection of Australian classics including popular songs such as Waltzing Matilda and I Still Call Australia Home.
Bella A’Capella then took to the stage for a few songs, with their rendition of Shallow by Lady Gaga being especially well received by the crowd.
Both groups also performed a few songs together including, I Am Australian.
Other songs from the show included Sweet Caroline, Pomp and Circumstance, some hits of ABBA and a few from the films TheMan from Snowy River and Les Misérables.
