BTW,
I wouldn't think it'd be TOO good to have similar lines sitting all together since they wouldn't be able to hear counter-melody and harmony as well if everyone around them is playing the exact same thing as each other.
In general it always seems to me to be percussion in the back, and basically as the pitch goes up, the closer to the audience you get, with the brass behind the woodwinds.
In the one band that I hope to join back up with soon it's roughly the same as Alex's, with slight differences. We reversed the order of the last row, reversed the order of the saxes in the second to last row, and (probably because we have no bassoons or oboes), we have the first row exclusivel Cl 1, piccolo, Fl 1. The second row containst everything there listed (minus Eb which we don't have again) and the Fl 2 on the rightmost edge.
you'll find they ALL usually have the percussion, low brass, high brass, low woodwind, high woodwind format going from back to front.
