In the case of S&S, I wouldn't try to "trill" anything until the last Eb. If you listen to a GOOD piccolo player, they will play each trill as a mordent. This is accomplished by playing two 32nd notes ON THE BEAT of each little trill, in essence your first "trill" is an Eb to an F as 32nd notes. I have always played it like this after asking some really good piccolo players, seems to me that time goes so fast that you can't really trill.

As for trills, use a metronome and start slow. I have always found the better my flexibility, the better my slurs.
