I think that the first live collaboration of a rock band and orchestra was the "Concerto for Group and Orchestra" by Deep Purple and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at 1969. The Moody Blues recorded with an orchestra 2 years earlier in 1967.
A band, group, ensemble, orchestra, trio, quartet, quintet, etcA group of musicians are usually called a band or a symphony, but it depends on the instruments and how many musicians there are.

Not really... although the terms are generally used synonomously, these days. An orchestra is defined as an ensemble of different families of instruments. So, that could include concert bands, big bands and the jazz orchestra (big band, 2 horns and strings), among others. A symphony is a specific musical form, usually played by a (fairly) specific ensemble. So, the term "symphony orchestra" is literally an ensemble capable of playing that kind of piece... thus the modern symphony orchestra. Generally, the term "symphony orchestra" is more specific, when talking about the classical ensemble.
Trumpet
It was one of the first jazz compositions to be performed as an orchestral classical work. The original scoring was for dance band; it was performed by Paul Whiteman's orchestra. The piece was later rescored for symphony orchestra.
Arthur Edward Johnstone has written: 'Instruments of the modern symphony orchestra and band'
See the thing is, a band can have as little or as many instruments as preferred. Unless it is like a symphony orchestra when many are needed.
