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?
Instrumental, not instrument.

Correct. "Instrument group" is not right, or not right for your context anyway. It seems to mean a group of related instruments, such as string instruments or whatever.

Instrumental groups / ensembles play instrumental music. There are particular names depending on the genre of music.
