(Since you're a local member, you'll understand this pretty well). I play in a number of symphonies in the area, and essentially will travel if the pay is right! I was just in Hickory, NC (I live in Greensboro too) which is about 1.5 hrs. And my "home" symphony is about 2 hrs away (Fayetteville, NC). Last April I took a gig in Atlanta, GA (4+ hrs), but I also do a bit of work around Greensboro.

I don't do much in the community groups anymore due to time, but some of my fellow classmates and I used to travel to Greensboro from Winston to play in the Greensboro Philharmonic (community orchestra) during college to get more orchestral playing in. If I had the extra time (and they needed), I had often thought about playing flute in the Phil again, but I also know how my gig schedule gets!
