Dream Theater in September 1985 when guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung decided to form a band to fill their spare time while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. They then found a drummer, Mike Portnoy, in one of the rehearsal rooms at Berklee, and after two days of negotiations, they were able to persuade Mike Portnoy to join. After that, the three of them to fill the two vacant places in the band, and Petrucci asked his band mates, Kevin Moore, to be a keyboard player. She agreed, and when Chris Collins invited to be 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, they were lined up tickets to the Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to Rush with a boom box. Portnoy and 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 - this time, Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung are still struggling with their studies, as well as the part-time work and teaching. Their schedule became tight tips so they had to decide between pursuing a career in music or end the band Majesty. But eventually Majesty wins and they all come out of Berklee to concentrate on music careers.
Petrucci commented about this in the documentation DVD Score, said that while it is very difficult to ask their parents to go to music school. And harder again to convince his parents that he should get out of school. Moore is finally out of school, SUNY Fredonia, to concentrate on the band.

Their first album, When Dream And Day Unite recorded with Charlie Dominici as Kevin Moore as the lead singer and keyboards player. Dominici was much older than the other members and want to play other music, so he then came out of the group.
