/* Orchestra */
Not a perfect photo, but better than nothing
/* Orchestra */Tenoroon is never really called for in orchestral repertoire. Maybe used by student orchestras but never as called for in a score.
Restructured Orchestra section to match formatting of Concert band section
/* Orchestra */
Previous wording was too specific- this is true for any symphony orchestra
Formatting error
/* Concert band */
/* Concert band */Basset horns are pretty much never called for in wind band scores, but may be used to play alto parts in clarinet choirs
