Judd · Answer 1

Combination

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first define what a combination and permutation is:

Permutations are groupings in which the order of objects matters.

Combinations are groupings where content matters but order does not.

So since there are no conditions in the order of the band's appearance times, therefore a combination will be used to schedule the band's appearances. Therefore, we should use a combination.
