Dream Theater was formed in September 1985, when guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung decided to form a band to fill their spare time while attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston. They then met a drummer, Mike Portnoy, in one of the rehearsal rooms at Berklee, and after two days of negotiations, they managed to invite Mike Portnoy to join. After that, they all want to fill the two vacant places in the band, and Petrucci asked his band mates, Kevin Moore, for a keyboard player. He agreed, and when Chris Collins invited to become a vocalist, the band was complete.

With five members, they decided to name the band by the name Majesty. According to the documentation DVD Score, five of them were lined up tickets for the Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to Rush with a boom box. Portnoy said that the ending of the song (Bastille Day) sounds very "Majestic". That's when they decided Majesty is a good name for a band, and remained good until now.

At the time - that time, Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung is still struggling with their studies, also with a part-time work and teaching. Their schedules become tight tips so they must decide between pursuing a career in music or end the band Majesty. But eventually Majesty win and the three of them came out of Berklee to concentrate on music career. Petrucci commented about this in the documentation DVD Score, said that while it is very difficult to ask parents to go to music school. And more difficult again to convince her parents that she should drop out of school.

Moore also finally out of school, SUNY Fredonia, to concentrate with the band.
