Rector has confused band (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchestra

'band' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rector has confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'rector'+'has'='rectorhas'
'rectorhas' is an anagram of 'ORCHESTRA'.

(Other definitions for orchestra that I've seen before include "many players" , "An assembly of musicians with various instruments" , "Big band" , "Large group of instrumentalists" , "Musicians, maybe in theatre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
