So, what appellation do we ascribe to such an ensemble in these
modern times?

P.S. Don't give away our age, Dean, by saying "stage band"! That

Wild Women!
I didn't know that! It was certainly the term in use when I was in
high school in the late 70s, and still used by a band director friend
of mine in the 80s. But I've been completely out of touch with that
world for about 20 years now.
