What would you do?

Struggling to figure this out. Weird scheduling this year for obvious reasons....I now have in my "percussion" class 11 percussionists...and 7 wind players. In the past, I maybe have had one or 2...What would you do? The wind players need to work on their stuff, the percussionists really need a "percussion" class...I hate to send them off and work on their own all the time...

Remember the one room schoolhouse? The teacher gave assignments and worked multiple grade levels in the same room. Work with the wind players and minute then give an assignment. Work with the percussion a minute then give an assignment. Over time you will figure out how long to work each group and how long they are able to work by themselves (individually or small group) on their assignment. It's worth a try.

What did you do when you had 1 or 2? It would be the same thing with a few more kids I would think.

It was often a drum major doubling up, so I trusted them to practice on their own, or play percussion with us. I don't have enough equipment, or trust the wind players here to go work on their own every day.
