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 the entire 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 USA Today, The Telegraph, The New York Times, the Evening Standard, The Daily Mail, the Newsday, the Universal, The Star Tribune, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, the Penny Press and the King Feature Syndicate.
