Perc 1 is fine, the expectation will be to play one line or the other. When making your own mix, always ask yourself or someone else if it sounds good, balanced and appropriate. Use your analysis to ensure that chord qualities are satisfactory. Sometimes it's easier to cut and thin sections. Always loop back to the first priority: does it sound good, balanced and appropriate? The judges use the score as a medium to listen to the students tone. You can solve every scoring and staffing issue that comes up, but if the students don't make characteristic sounds, it will all sound off.
