It's never easy to start a band. There are a lot of things to consider. One being, how dedicated are you going to be to the band? Is it what you are doing with your life or is it a hobby that you will eventually give up when more real life issues start to take over? That's a very important question because it will be taken into consideration of the other band members. Once you figure this out, you can move to the next step of making or finding a band.
There are a few options you can take with this. The first would be, of course, making your own band. It's difficult in a few reasons. First being that you need to find people who are interested in the same style as you, second being you need to find people.
Third is you need to find people who you can work with. You can have 5 good musicians in a room and none of them able to work together because of difference of opinion on how things should be done. The best way to go about doing this is to post ads in music stores, churches, radio stations saying that: "I am looking to make a band and need the following musicians. We are of this style and some of our influeces inclide:" Put your contact info down, and there you go.
The other way is to join an existing band which is a little easier, but you will probably get no say at first on what gets done and how. The easiest ways to find bands are again, go to music shops or christian stores and check their post boards. Call other churches in the area and ask them as well.
There is also the option as mentioned before to contact an entertainment manager and send photos and demos, but in order to do that and actually see results, you have to be professional, plus have professional photos taken, ect.
Hope this helps.
