Council’s Youth Service Officer Carrolyn Agius said that all acts demonstrated a high level of musical talent and appealed to the diverse tastes of the crowd.
She said that runner- up Angela Robinson; Cardinia Shire’s first solo artist performing at Cardinia Shire’s Battle event, captivated the audience with her beautiful voice and that third place winner, California Rise were also crowd pleasers.
“It was fantastic to see the performer’s supporting each other, regardless of genre,” Miss Agius she said.
A range of games were provided by Electric Productions to entertain the crowd throughout the evening.

All other acts from the Battle competitors, including World at a Glance, Summer of Betrayal, Scott Bell and the Reasons Why, A Fate Worse Than Death and Into Delirium were of particularly high quality.
“I was amazed at the musical excellence of many of the bands competing, particularly because it was the first live gig for many of the competitors,” Miss Agius said.
