Just meant as a tentative suggestion (as indicated by confidence level) - based on the possibility that you had left out the 'a'. Perhaps you could give the whole sentence?

КАПЕЛЛА ж. (немецк. Сареllе) хор певчих или музыкантов.
Как правило, под капеллой понимают хор, исполняющий классику или религиозные композиции, поэтому перевод music band здесь вряд ли уместен. Из предложенного, ближе всего choir
