Answer

$9_{{P}{_{5}}}$ = 15,120

Work Step by Step

Total number of bands = 9 Number of bands for which there is enough time = 5 Number of bands that the five can perform out of 9 = $9_{{P}{_{5}}}$ = $\frac{9!}{(9 - 5)! }$ = $\frac{9!}{4! }$ = $\frac{9\times8\times7\times6\times5\times4!}{4! }$ = $9\times8\times7\times6\times5$ = 15120
