There is no difference, but some schools use "symphonic" to differentiate between the general band and a more advanced group. It may be considered more politically correct to call it symphonic than to say "honors" or "advanced."

∙ 15y agoSince this appears to be a basic question, I will keep the answer basic. First of all, the symphony orchestra contains string instruments (violin, viola cello, string bass) and the band does not. Second, the orchestra plays while seated and the band is mobile. The marching band, opposed to the symphonic wind ensemble, traditionally employs a larger number of brass instruments (trumpet, cornet, Trombone, tuba) than woodwinds (flute, Clarinet). Of the woodwinds, the Saxophone and piccolo are more prominently featured in the marching band than a wind ensemble, and conversely the french horn (brass) is used more often in a wind ensemble. Percussion instruments are also more prominent in a marching band than in the symphony orchestra, where they are used for delicate and/or dramatic effect as well as the color they provide.
