The brass sit behind the strings, but in front of the percussion. Usually the French horns are behind the woodwinds, and the trumpets, trombones, and tuba are behind the violas, cellos, and string basses.
Usually in the back, behind the woodwinds and strings, but in front of the percussion. Looking at the stage, the most common order left-to-right is the horns, trumpets, trombones, and tuba at the end.
it goes towards the middle so the first person will be on the directors right. in score order of course!!! but the first person is normally closer to the outside!! -bandchikXS
Usually on the far right, so we don't poke people.
The front row is usually made up of the first and second chair 1st violins, 2nd violins, violas, and cellos.
"First chair" is a term used in orchestras to designate the principal performer in each of its sections; that is, the principal performer for violas, cellos, oboes, etc. Violins, on the other hand, do no have a first chair - they have the concertmaster, who has special duties in the course of an orchestral performance. Where a first chair is responsible for tuning his/her section, the concertmaster is responsible for tuning the entire orchestra. The first chair for string sections, where two people share a single music stand, does not turn the pages of a music sheet. This duty belongs to the person sitting next to them (sometimes called the "inside" chair). To be a first chair, one must exhibit exceptional skill with their instrument and be a leader to the others in their section. This person will perform the solo parts written for his/her instrument; a first cello (or first cellist), for example, will play the special cello parts unless a special guest soloist is in attendance.
First row, in the right :-) played it myself, and at least that was the way it was then ;-)
They are found near the back of the orchestra near the double basses. the trumpets in an orchestra sit in the very back row smack dab in the middle with the french horns to their right and the trombones to their left.
The front row is curved, and is made up of the first two chairs of 1st and 2nd violins, viola, and cello. The rest of the strings are in rows behind them, but angled outwards to the sides of the stage. In the center, behind the strings, are the woodwinds (first row is flute and oboe, second row is clarinet and bassoon). Behind that is the brass, often in one long row towards the back. Finally in the rear of the stage is all the percussion.
The Xylophone is a member of the Percussion family. It will generally reside inline with the other percussionists in the outer row of musicians.

Because they are both "Canons", that is they are musical pieces that are arranged for part of the orchestra (or one or more vocalists) to repeat the first four bars upon the commencement of the second four bars. i.e. first singer singer sings "Row Row Row Your Boat, and as they begin singing the next line "Gently down the stream", the second singer starts with "Row, row, row your boat" etc
