So I've gotten to a point where I feel comfortable enough breaking out of my basement and can put the high school bands behind, but ever since I've started looking about 3 or 4 months ago, I've had some major difficulty looking for a single band to play in.
(for some background, I'm an Engineering student near the CT/NY border and I live in CT when not in school. started when I was 19, practiced 5 hours a day and I'm almost 22 now.)
at this point, all I have been using is craigslist, but geographically, it is difficult where I live. the "local" listings for my area include all of NYC and Long Island; traveling from Norwalk, Connecticut to the closest point in Long Island is a 7 hour round trip and just isn't feasable, yet most of the people responding to my listing are from Long Island, so I have been stuck just continually turning people down.
I don't know whether I'm not looking in the right places, saying the wrong things in my ad, or CT just likes to pretend anyone between 16 and 30 doesn't exist (I'm leaning on the first and and the third).
Is anyone aware of craigslist alternatives I can use or other resouces that are available, or a way to improve my search?
here is my ad for reference:
