William Tell Overture, Single tongue or double?

I’ve always had a very slow single tongue, I do a lot of metronome exercises to try and speed it up but it really doesn’t do that much. I need to get my William Tell excerpt up to 108BPM = half note and I currently can’t single tongue fast enough. Is it normal/acceptable to do this excerpt double tongued or should I keep trying to make the single tongue work? Thanks in advance!

Is my posture bad?

So I have a pretty big overbite and I do my best to keep my teeth aligned but sometimes I feel like I compensate too much for my embouchure and slouch down.

Help with endurance?

I’m starting to learn the Grondahl concerto for my senior year but I’m definitely having some issues regarding endurance… it’s always been something I struggle with and it’s really starting to show. I feel like I could play it, I’ve just played the David Concerto for NYSSMA and got a 100 and love the solo. Any tips will be appreciated.
