I will add that Eb is a very different beast than Bb. You would want to practice like you would if you were just starting out on Bb. Begin with some etudes, and proceed from there. I love playing the little monster, but it takes a different type of skill.

I really wish I would have gotten to play WSS when we did it at NC School of the Arts, but they split the parts up into more of an orchestral arrangement (the school really doesn't promote doubling), so I ended up not playing it. I really didn't want to do it if I couldn't go ahead and play the doubles, but from what I heard, it was a beast of a part for everyone (except the oboe part, which makes me glad I didn't play it) and that's coming from majors who were solely playing their instrument.
