band room

Musicians' practice area

A band room is the classroom or rehearsal space where a school's instrumental music program is based.

It typically contains music stands, instrument storage, and enough open floor space for an ensemble to practice together: I left my trumpet in the band room.

The term evokes the particular atmosphere of these spaces—cluttered with sheet music, cases, and the residual smell of brass polish.
