Trombonist looking for a band
I live in western KY and I am looking to join a band. I have over 17 years experience performing in a big band, jazz band, and community bands. I would also be open to any small group as well.

"Western Kentucky" covers a lot of ground.
Any chance you're near this band?

Re: Trombonist looking for a band
I used to get corporate transfers a lot. The local music store usually had some recommendations for me on bands. Another source of tips would be local high school and college band directors.
I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are still missing!

Re: Trombonist looking for a band
Hi and thank you for the replies.
I would love getting involved with the bands there at Western KY University, but it is a 2 hour drive from my location.
I will put feelers out to local band directors about playing opportunities.

Re: Trombonist looking for a band
Check local colleges, including community colleges and branches of major colleges. I've played in three community college bands that rehearsed at night. A local conservatory of music where I live has an outreach program to local amateurs and sponsors an orchestra for them.

Re: Trombonist looking for a band
I am playing in the area community bands, one in my hometown and another at a university.
These gigs are only twice a year and I want to perform more often.
I appreciate your feedback, and I’ll continue reaching out to area band directors as well.
Thanks!

Re: Trombonist looking for a band
Mike - sometimes you have to make your own opportunities to play. I wanted to play in a brass quintet 20 years ago, so I started one. 4 years ago I wanted to play in a larger brass ensemble. So I started one. If you have some other quality players in your existing groups, they might also be looking for additional places to play.

Re: Trombonist looking for a band
Paducah is a relatively small city; how does travel to Nashville, Bowling Green, St Louis, or Louisville work for you? Bowling Green is small also, but has historically had strong music programs.

Re: Trombonist looking for a band
Hey guys!
I agree, living in a small town makes it very difficult to find opportunities to perform. I wished I was closer to KC or Bowling Green.
Thanks, for all the suggestions!
Please keep in touch!
