EQUIPMENT COSTLY, HOURS LONG, BUT GROUND CONTROL KEEPS ON HOPING FOR CAREERS IN MUSI ‘‘It started as a hobby but now we all want to become musicians,” said drummer Scott Stillman, member of the all-junior band. Ground Control. Playing for a band entailed as much or more work than a full time job and required costly equipment. So why such effort when the competition was so great and the chances of success so small? It was one of the few fun things I like to do that’s legal,” said lead singer Bart Mahrer. Stillman and Mahrer, along with guitarist Mike Schultz and pianist Steve Anderson, spent up to twenty-three hours at practice weekly plus up to five professional performances a month. To compensate for the eight to ten thousand dollars invested in equipment, the group played for parties, clubs and schools. However, the band's main concern was not “playing to pay the bills.” explained Anderson, but to be in the public eye and become successful musicians. Anderson added, “If you really like your job. you’ve got it made.” Christenson. Paul Christensen. Thomas Chumley. David Cohen. Shari Coklas. Pamela Conley. Timothy Cruikshank. Donna Culp.
