Consolidated Reed Books

Hi - I'm new here. I've been playing saxes/cl/fl/bsn for many years and I teach at a small high school in Portland, Oregon. We (read our administration) decided to do Music Man this Fall. We have limited resources for the pit orchestra with almost all parts covered by competent players (another stipulation is that the pit orchestra MUST consist of students). HOWEVER, none of my players are able doublers and since the reed books (except book 1 and 3) all contain mixed doublings, I am looking at doing some heavy copying and pasting and transposing in order to make "single instrument" reed books for the show. I have done this before for "The Boyfriend" and "Patience" and it was a royal pain in the a**, taking 40-50 hours of work - and I'm an expert user of Sibelius! Anyway, does anyone know of any resources to locate single-instrument books like these, because I'm SURE someone has to have been in the same boat I'm in, and already done this work. Any ideas?
