Rock music is a little easier to memorize than orchestral music. Usually, rock music is simple chords repeated with some guitar or drum solos. Rock music also allows for ad lib playing and songs are often played differently each time.
Orchestra music is often longer and more complicated than rock music, meaning it is harder to memorize. Orchestras also play music by composers that doesn’t allow for improvisation and usually is played as close to the original score as possible. Orchestras are often much larger than rock bands and having sheet music and a director help keep everyone together while playing the song.
Those are just a few reasons and differences between the two, I’m sure other people can list some more points I’ve missed or didn’t think.
