What is a band?

A band is a group of musicians who perform together, typically playing instruments and sometimes singing as a unit. Bands can vary in size and genre, such as rock bands, jazz bands, or marching bands, and often collaborate to create, record, and perform music. Members usually have defined roles, like vocalist, guitarist, drummer, or keyboardist. Bands can perform live at venues, record albums, and may go on tours to reach wider audiences.
