Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes! I already feel so welcome here.
Amanda - Unfortunately I am not nor was I ever in one of those awesome (and they are awesome!) North Texas lab bands. I came to UNT first as a Percussion Performance major, switching to a Jazz Performance major the next semester. However, the competition and pressure made me realize that that sort of enviroment was ruining my love for music and I changed once more. I have finally settled on a major of International Studies with a focus in business and a minor in Japanese, a culture in which I am highly interested and intrigued.
I mostly play drumset in a band I have been in for over a year now called Sententia Dementia. We play a sort of progressive/alternative/rock sort of mix. For any of you out there that have ever listened to the band Dream Theater, Mike Portnoy of DT is by far my biggest inspiration.
Sorry that was so lengthy!
Mary Grace - I too am not a native Texan! ^_^ I was born in Memphis, TN and then raised in St. Louis, MO from the age of 2 til I left for college. I expect to stay in Texas atleast til I graduate and possibly longer depending on where my career takes me.
Thanks again, everyone! I can't wait to get to know you all better. Have a great day!
