Kelly, ask around and find your local community band. Community bands as wind ensembles have popped up everywhere, as an opportunity for middle school, high school, and college band members to get together and do this kind of music so they can continue to enjoy their instruments as adults. I'm in one myself; Emerald Coast Community Band in Northwest Florida. We just add this to our library and start working on it Tuesday!
