Dropout Year is an American pop punk band from Baltimore, Maryland, formed in June, 2004. The band consists of lead vocalist Steve Reter and guitarists Adam Goodman and Brandon Reter. Dropout Year started out in June 2004, when ex-singer Adam Henderson, Brandon Reter, and ex-drummer Justin Childers (playing as a 3-piece originally known as Far From Home) asked Adam Goodman (a high school friend) to join the band after he witnessed them perform a concert at the Recher Theatre in Towson, Maryland.
