The orchestra forms a semi-circle around the edge of the stage. If you are facing the stage, and you go in clockwise order, the violins are on the left (in front), then the second violins, the violas, and the cellos on the right (in front). The basses usually stand, spread out behind the cellos in a horizontal row, using their own separate stands.
