Youth centers and such stuff will often have the information you seek. Some areas have music centers and lessons aimed specifically at youth and teenagers, I suggest you see if you can get in touch with such a place.

Otherwise, play where other people will hear you. On the street, on Youtube, on your friends parties and in clubs if you can get in and is good enough. If you're a pleasant enough personality, attention will eventually come your way. If it's enough attention will depend on your conviction, your patience, and your work attitude.

There are many ways to join a band.

One way is to create your own band! Find other people that play instruments, and form a band.

Determine the genre/style of music you want to play, and find other musicians that are interested in that genre/style. You could create an ad on a website such as: Craigslist, or BandMix.com.

You could also post flyers around your local music stores.
