bandroom

Ensemble practice space

A bandroom is a space where a musical band rehearses, stores instruments, or gathers between performances.

In schools, the bandroom is where the music program is based: Meet me in the bandroom after class.

The term appears in military and community contexts as well, wherever bands need dedicated space.
