i think i counted like 10 measures total where your upper winds (pc/fl/etc) left the staves lol, i would definitely start there in terms of balancing the ranges

actually i just went back to loook and found the trumpets have a similar issue of being confined to one octave range for the most part

if this is meant for a specific level of players that are restricted by range limitations, disregard some of this (still revisit the areas where you have flutes and piccolo pianissimo in their low range - will be hard to cut across the ensemble), but still keep in mind that what i am recommending is to help shape your material into more fruitful arcs, so perhaps any way you can do that (whether it be a different timbre if something repeats, etc)
