It depends on a lot of things really!
The following applies to the UK only. Things may be similar elsewhere, but there will also be plenty of differences!
People perform copyright works in schools all the time, and generally a blind eye is turned to it. It's the venue's responsibility to pay the royalties rather than the artist's, anyway. It's the performing rights society who are responsible for the issuing of those licences.
UK music licencing laws have changed recently though - if the performance is done for gain (for school funds, for example...) you may find you, strictly speaking, need an entertainment licence (though I never saw the final bill - schools may have been exempted from the legislation, they weren't when it was at the proposal stage).
You'd really do best to speak to a teacher at your school about this - they'd know (or should know! ) what licences the school has, and which are necessary (it may be that none at all are necessary).
The flute sound is almost certainly from a Roland VG-8. Describing it as 'a guitar through an effect' is a bit misleading - it's more a guitar synthesiser (though it's not quite a synthesiser either! ).
