Page 8 Disco group unique By Cindy Ralston Staff Writer It isn't easy to start a musical group without any money or backing, but John Robinson of Discomania, We The People Productions, had the initiative and confidence to make the group a success. Discomania, a Portland based group, is a traveling discotheque that plays disco music, provides a light show and teaches the audience dances. "We want to be part of the audi ence," said Robinson. "It doesn't mat ter who you are or what you look like, we get out into the audience and dance." Robinson started Discomania in April, 1976. The group puts on shows at high schools, colleges, weddings, birthday parties, private parties and fund-raising events. "Discomania, to me, is people," said Robinson. "Our philosophy is that the whole world is a stage." Robinson said at one time he thought about stopping Discomania because there was a low point without any bookings. Unlike most groups Discomania is not centered around a money aspect. Their price range differs according to the budget of institutions or indivi duals. "We don't like people to s theirmoney and notenjoy themsel said Robinson. "There is no value on having fun." Robinson's goal is to format mania Club where members can vide helpful suggestions and feed A disco workshop with free! classes is also a goal of Robins The workshop will be held in a when finalized and any interestec sons may attend. Robinson's disco is unique bei they will provide rock disco, country-western or anything the pie want. Tentative plans for Discomanii to travel to towns not involved disco and go to festivals such as Octoberfest at Mt. Angel.
