Instrumental group or instrument group

Hello, I'm confused with the two words instrument and instrumental. Instrumental is an adjective and instrument is an noun. If I'm making a category choice for a talent show. Should I say Instrument group or instrumental group? You know how we have singing/vocal group, dancing group, etc. I personally think Instrumental group is more a proper way to say it. What do you guys think?
