Question - Was this person best known for being in a band or other group? (as opposed to as an individual or solo act)
Yes, not a band, but group(s).

Did he win at least 5 Tony Awards?

If yes, I will guess Richard Rogers.

No, but he did win 2.

7. Male

Leonard Bernstein
That's as good a guess as any. He has won two Tonys (not, interestingly enough, for West Side Story). Hard to classify him as being part of a group, though. He wrote with several lyricists, but none of the partnerships lasted more than the one project. But I can't think of any other 2-Tony-winning musician who could be classified as being in a group (or team), and are dead.

I actually had his Wikipedia page pulled up as a guess based on prior answers, with the "2 Tonys" answer I searched the page, saw the match, and knew it was him. Writing works for orchestras and musicals definitely qualifies as being 'in a group' in my book.

And of course, conducting world famous orchestras such as the NY Phil, BSO, Vienna Phil, etc.

Good one. Conducting an orchestra definitely makes him part of a group. I would not agree, though, that writing a work that eventually gets performed by a group, makes one part of the group.
