Terrible practice throw lacking weight to find band's position (9,3)
I believe the answer is:
orchestra pit
'terrible practice throw lacking weight to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'band's position' is the wordplay.
'band' becomes 'orchestra' (musical band).
'position' becomes 'pit' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'orchestra'+'pit'='ORCHESTRA PIT'
'find' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orchestra pit that I've seen before include "wind down in one" , "where band plays" , "Part of a theatre" , "Sunken area for theatre musicians" , "Place for theatre musicians" .)
