What is a music band with no string instrument?
Actually, a band is instruments such as brass, woodwinds, percussion, etc. without string instruments. A wind ensemble may or may not include the upright bass. An orchestra would include string instruments such as violins, violas, bass, cellos, and a few brass and woodwinds, and of course percussion.
Where is the percussion instruments located and why?
I may not be 100% accurate on this but I believe I have a pretty good idea. In an ensemble setting, the idea is to provide the best balance possible. That is why more powerful instruments, like the brass, specifically the trombones and tubas are in the back of the ensemble and the flutes and piccolos will be in the front. It would be very imbalanced if it were reversed. Typically the percussion instruments will be placed in the back of an ensemble or orchestra. These instruments are typically very assertive and powerful. Like a bass drum that is very bold and loud or a snare drum that is very sharp and penetrating. Also, percussionists typically stand up when they are playing, unlike the majority of the band. Just about every instrument group will be sitting, except maybe the upright bass players of an orchestra. This makes the placement common sense, because you don't want them to be standing in the front of the band blocking the view of other musicians.
What section is the maraca in in the orchestra?
Maracas would go in the percussion section. If you look at instruments from sections besides percussion, you will see that they all can produce melody, and that most percussion instruments can only create rhythm. The exceptions to this rule are the xylophone and the marimba, both of which are in the percussion section, although they can produce melody.
