All instruments can be played standing up or sitting down. "Should" is very subjective, and practically useless.

Traditionally, the following instruments are played standing, either because of the size of the instrument or because of the need to move between instruments (or dance around like a madman) of a family:

-String Bass

-Percussion

-Electric Guitars and bass

Some older instruments, by the way, do require standing up, like the great-contra-bass recorder, which, in fact, requires standing on a box! However, in modern practice, even tympani are often played sitting on a high stool, and trap-arranged drum kits by a player on a 'throne'.

Oh yes. And in certain groups, soloists are generally "highlighted" by standing up to play their solos. This is, however, a temporary thing, and while the audience may feel that they _should_ stand to play, it is not anymore of a requirement than any of those above.

Do you need to stand behind your partner when they are hitting their ball so that you don't get hit----I've seen players stand in the line of fire----what is the rule on this?

On a tee shot, then yes, you should always stand behind the player. But when players are playing their approaches, you can stand where ever you like. However, it should not be in the players line of play. Better players know where to stand, and this helps speed up play, and if you are playing with a good player you know they're going to hit it straight anyway.
