Answers:
As a general rule, the players are seated inside/outside, with the best players in the front!. But that's really not always true!. Sometimes conductors seat the best players on the outside of the stands, and even the rule that all the best players are in the front, is not actually true!. Sometimes a really good player will be seated where the sound will best be served!.
