Barb and others from the Mernda Community Choir joined up with other such choirs around Melbourne (and Tasmania) to form a hundred plus singing voice as part of "Remembrance" a one off presentation reflecting on the forming of the ANZAC psyche that grew out of WW1. There were continual images, foreground opera singers of note sharing a heartfelt story, a full orchestra in the middle and this giant choir behind and to the sides. The collective voice was powerful. It was put on by Victorian Opera (see You Tube). Some songs were light, some were subversive, but most of them reflected the great loss to humanity and how the ANZAC soldiers handled it from the start of the war to its finish.
