the woodwinds: piccolo, 2 flutes*, 2 oboes*, cor anglais, 2 clarinets*, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons*, contrabassoon
the brass: 2* to 6 horns*, 2* to 5 trumpets*, 2 to 3 tenor trombones, 1 to 2 bass trombones, tuba
the percussion: timpani*, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, celesta, piano, etc.
the strings: harp(s), 16 to 30 (or more) violins*, 8 to 12 (or more) violas*, 8 to 12 (or more) cellos*, and 5 to 8 (or more) double basses*.
Occasionally, traditional wind ensemble instruments appear, such as the saxophone and euphonium.
As for band, I'd say trumpet, percussion, things of that nature.

I agree with Roxasbhk, with one major exception: the piano is not an orchestral instrument. Don't really know much about bands.
