Music scene?

<p>Hi everyone</p>

<p>I'm a matriculating student this upcoming fall, and even though I'll be in the school of engineering, music is what keeps me sane. I'm an accomplished drummer and I already know I'll be part of many of the performing ensembles, but I was just wondering what the student music scene is like apart from the university? For example, are there are a lot of venues for bands to play at, do students form bands a lot, what kind of music do they tend to be?</p>

<p>I know the music program involves a lot of kids, but is there time outside of academics to form self-made groups?</p>
