I’m a youth clarinetist, and was wondering if anyone had a tips on learning the alto sax/flute for use in my high school pit orchestra. This would be for next school year, so no need for tips to rush through learning them. Also, if I am just playing them occasionally, what level of private lessons should I get? None at all or by need?

Take lessons! A good teacher for a multi-instrumentalist is a specialist on that instrument that understands fundamentals.
There are a few anomalies in the "doubling" world that can teach you equally across a large range, but that's not always the case. A teacher who plays multiple instruments would be good once you get your foundation set though.
(I say this as a teacher of multiple instruments, however, I do get all kinds of bookings on the other instruments, just as much as my "primary," even when not doubling.)
