Jam session. Practicing 2-3 hours a day. Mind Circis rehearses their song Cruol World. The members of the band. Rob Fraser. Rob Caspory, and Derek Venoma, be- gan at the end of their sophomore year. Rob explains, “It is a song about how the world is an unfair place to many people who arc different in little ways. Photo by Ma- rio Bialorucki. You flip the radio to your favorite sta- tion and hear a familiar song. Big deal, you say? Maybe, but if you wrote the song, it just might . . . YOUR MIND magine fulfilling a dream that has been in your mind constantly. A group of talented young men from ST did just that when they created their band, Mind Circis. Rob Fraser and Derek Venema became fast friends when they each discovered the other's love of music. The other members who came along later were Rob “Ox” Casbury and Rich Jenkins. Cur- rently, they are looking for a lead singer. Mind Circis plays a variety of music. Derek stated, Our music is our own style; the classifications are too broad. Rob Fraser writes all of their own music. He writes the guitar and vocal sequences and Derek adds the drum se- quences. The group is highly dedicated to their music. They practice at Derek's house five times a week for two to three hours a day. Rob, Derek, and Ox have ex- pended a great deal of effort in putting the band together, stated Marie Bialorucki, and it shows in the quality of their work. The band is going to go far if they keep working hard and practicing the way they are now.” We get a great deal of sup- port, mainly from our friends, but, surprisingly, we get a lot of sup- port from our families, too! Ex- claimed Derek. While our band really doesn't affect our school life, socially, we have less time to do things we want to, but it's well worth it! Although the band has not played in any professional gigs, they hope to soon. If the band does not succeed, the guys ;all have other professions that they wish to pursue. By Kristine Wang. Seniors 151
