band membership
Ensemble roster spot
Band membership is the state of belonging to a band—whether a musical group, marching band, or similar ensemble.
It implies ongoing participation rather than a one-time appearance: Her band membership lasted through all four years of high school.
The term often appears in discussions of creative credits, royalty splits, or who counts as an official member versus a touring musician.
