Simply put, a professional orchestra is one in which the musicians make their living primarily as orchestra musicians. A semiprofessional orchestra usually has a core of professional musicians, as well as players who, while of professional (or near-professional calibre, make their living primarily outside of performing. This can include students, talented community members who make their living outside of music, and musicians who make their primary living outside of performing. Musicians in a semiprofessional orchestra are generally paid, but there are usually several pay levels dependent upon the player's status. For instance, there may be principals (section leaders), section players (full-time), section players (part-time), and section players (student). Semiprofessional orchestras also tend to engage musicians who play unusual instruments on a per-call (casual) basis.
There are a number of reasons for this. the first and main is so that the rest of the orchestra can hear them properly. the second is because they could block the rest of the orchestra from the audience if they were in the front, as they take up a lot of room. this could stop all of the sound getting through, and make the rest of the orchestra harder to see. There are other reasons as well

The bassoon typically sits in the second row of the woodwind section, which is behind the string section. Where the bassoons sit is ultimately a decision made by the conductor.
