I would suggest that if you are finding you are doing too much and want to cut down on the number of groups you play in, try to keep as many different types of group. For example 1 chamber ensemble, 1 orchestra, wind ensemble (symphonic wind band?) & big band. This will give you maximum exposure to different setups & different styles of music.
Like you, when I was at school, I played in everything going - school orchestra, wind band, recorder ensemble, choir, Area music centre concert band & orchestra, hepled out with training band, church music group, anything else going... The experience gained will last a liftime, and I wouldn't do anything different now, but... in retrospect, it was too much as it probably affected my school academic work.
In the end, however, its your decision.
