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