The English Horn in the Reed 1 book is for one scene change, where the Reed 2 book is playing Clarinet… which segues attacca to the next song, where Reed 1 plays Clarinet and Reed 2 plays English Horn. We just swapped parts; the English Horn in Reed 1 is absolutely not necessary.
The bass clarinet needs a low D (possibly also a C#, I’m fuzzy on this). The bass clarinet part is extensive.
The flute/piccolo parts are relatively easy, but exposed, for both books.
