Right? I'm sure it varies from school to school, year to year, but my school orchestra (which was terrible) was likely the best in the area (I say this bc we had a coveted contract to play a certain gig every year, not trying to flex xD) and we still needed teachers and ex-teachers to bulk the band out for performances to get anywhere nearrrrr this size and diversity. And we weren't out in the sticks (and most students were well off). The book one is meant to just be a regular rehearsal. You could have a kid playing any one of these instruments, but you wouldn't see them all at the same time, because the kids double up the way you describe. I HAD a friend that brought a harp to rehearsal, once. It was the only time it happened in 7 years, and the band went without her main instrument that rehearsal. And it was a lever harp, not pedal. I don't think I've ever even seen one of those in person. Tbf book doesn't specify.

It's a daft nitpick but I spent a lot of time in the room with that terrible band, so if outsized-orchestra-pedantry must be my compensation, so be it.
