Group of eight (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

octet

octad

'group of eight' is the definition.
(group of eight musicians)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for octet that I've seen before include "Group that plays" , "Musical composition for eight performers" , "Played" , "Musical work for eight" , "Chamber ensemble, a Mendelssohn favourite" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Mail, The Mirror, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, the Newsday, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, The Telegraph, The New York Times, the Universal and The Times.
