I play in three community music groups. Today the band that I play in had a concert. We went for a very long time with no concerts, no rehearsals because of Covid. We rehearse and perform in public schools, so that, along with common sense, dictated that we could not play together.
But now we have returned, at least some of us. The group is smaller now and our concert was shorter, but we played! We had an audience, though it was also small.
The great thing about community music groups, whether they are bands, orchestras, choirs, or some other type of ensemble, is the community. You make friends there, people who have a common interest with you. Not everyone has come back yet to my groups. I know some are not ready and some have other obligations that the pandemic has created.
If you used to play an instrument, think about finding a group to play in. You might find your people.
