I began playing the clarinet when I was in the 6th grade. Ever since then I fell in love with playing. Unexpected situations came about when I was 18 and I stopped playing. Well, now at 23 I started practicing again but I've found myself alone. I wanted to see if someone could tell me about a place or places where I could go and get together with other woodwind players. Thanx and any suggestions are appreciated.

Search/post on http://dallas.craigslist.org. Also, check w. local music stores and college music department bulletin boards and instructors who may know about community bands or other interested parties.

You may also want to register with the Amateur Chamber Music Players at: http://www.acmp.net/
It's a directory of musicians, mostly strings, but also many wind players. The idea is that members can use the directory to contact fellow musicians in their area or when traveling to other cities to get together and play music.
