[edit] History

Greg Haupt went to Lindbergh High School, in St. Louis, Missouri, graduating in 2000. Greg's high school pop punk band, The O.F.R., got much local acclaim for its unexpected stage props and incorporated comedy sketches. In 1998, Greg additionally began to play guitar for Disturbing the Peace (which later became Adair). In 2002, Greg left DTP to join Big Blue Monkey, a band which went on to become Story of the Year. In early 2003, Greg parted with Story of the Year, and formed Princeton, a pop punk band that more closely resembles the melodic and catchy pop songs of The O.F.R..

[edit] Trivia

  • Haupt was once arrested for standing in front of a White Castle in St. Louis, MO on the coldest night of the year, wearing only a thong and holding a sign that said "White Castle ruined my life". Greg was taken to jail wearing only the thong.
