You are not eligible for any sort of deduction as an "educator." You may be confusing that with a deduction that teachers of grades K-12 can get.
Was some of your pay reported on a 1099Misc? If so, you are considered by the IRS to be "self-employed" and you have to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.

You cannot deduct anything for gas to drive to and from work--commuting to work is not deductible. But if you had any other expenses (like equipment you bought) related to your work with the band you may be able to enter them on a Schedule C.

I am going to suggest that you use the software version called Free File to prepare your tax return. It is a full-featured program that will not cost you anything to use, and it can be used to report your self-employment income and prepare a Schedule C. You do NOT want to end up using the expensive Self-Employed version of online TurboTax.
Try Free File:
You qualify if your income was $36,000 or less, or $69,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit

If you switch to Free File you must create a new account and new user ID.
