What do the other orchestra members do when a soloist performs?
When an orchestra piece features a soloist that plays alone for the most part, the orchestra just sits and waits until they come in for their part of the song. Lots of times though, when there's a soloist, there are background parts to go on behind the solo music. These are when another instrument or section of music plays quieter, but it's to enhance the melody or add harmony to the soloist.

How are all the instrument families set up in an orchestra pit?
Basically, the string family sits in the front of the orchestra from L to R (facing the stage). The left half of the stage are the violins, then to the right the violas, behind them the cellos, then way to the far right the basses will sit. The woodwind family will sit in the center, just behind the strings. Then to the right of the woodwinds, also behind the strings, the bass family sits. The percussion will usually stand way behind the brass at the far back and to the right of the stage. If there is a harp or keyboard, they usually sit to the left and to the back, behind the strings.
