What do you call a group of people playing instruments?

An Ensemble This actually depends upon how many people you have, and what kind of instruments they are playing. A large group playing traditional European instruments is called an orchestra. A smaller group playing traditional European instruments is called an ensemble. A group playing more modern music is called a band.


How many members are in a band and what kind of instruments are needed?

It depends on the kind of band that you are looking at. If you want a rock band, it is traditional for there to be a vocalist, rhythm guitar or bass guitar, lead guitar, and a drummer. If it is like a school band, there would be more traditional instruments, like percussion, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, saxophones, and other lower voices. There are unlimited possibilities to what kind of band you can make. As to how many people can be in the band, that depends to the individual. You could have 3 people, you could have 12 people, or you could have 60 people! It is whoever is inclulded in the band's judgement. I hope that I successfully answered your question.
