If it is a small orchestra it would probably be called a chamber orchestra. If it has no string players, but includes brass and woodwind it would be a concert band.
How many members and what instruments?

Then I think it is a concert band. We have 60 people and the instruments are: percussion, tuba, trombone, trumpet, saxophon (alt, sopran, tenor, bariton), bassclarinet, clarinet and flute.

Ok, that is great. That is definitely a concert band.
What part of Germany are you from? I've been over there a couple times.

Nice what kind of guitars?
I've got a Fender 5-string 24 fret bass. It's one from Korea, but works as well as any American I've played. No guitar to my name yet. I haven't really sat down and learned enough on it to make it worth it. Can play bunches of chords and pick out songs, but I don't claim to be a guitar player.

I've play guitar, have been for the last 7 years. Been in a few bands and played shows all across Texas and Mexico. I can play different styles of music: blues, metal, and some classical.

Don't play any instruments, though I should pick something up since my uncles and my mom's first cousins are all instrumentally inclined and have their own bands. I do sing and rap a little bit though.

I've been playing drums for about 8 years...played snare in the UF marching band for a short time, then got kicked out for mouthing off to the conductor. Played with some loser local groups between 2001-2004, and have only played in private since then. It's good for relieving stress in myself and causing stress in my neighbors. Perfect combination.

You're on the right track. Stick with chords, and learn scales. I would also suggest picking up some books to help you learn theory, that way you know which scales work with chords and learn about modes. I've owned quite a few guitars, but right now the only guitar i have left is my Gibson Goldtop, Ovation classical, and Washburn accoustic. My best guitar was an old Ibanez RG-550, I loved that guitar. It was desert storm yellow, and I added DiMarzio EVO pickups, but sadly it was stolent while playing in a night club a few years ago
My best advice is to start by learning with an accoustic. I cannot begin to tell you how many people I see that are barely starting, and all they want to do is pickup an electric and play with heavy distortion. Though it may sound like a cool idea, but a lot of times people starting out are fooled by their ears. Distortion hides a lot of mistakes and the saturation that comes from not knowing how to setup your EQ properly won't help notice mistakes either. Stick with an accoustic or classical, that way you can hear mistakes, and know what the weak areas are. Trust me, this is will help in the long run.
