What do your extra percussionists do in the Sight Reading room?

Looks like there's four percussion parts and I'm taking 5-6 kids. First instinct is to double the bell part, but are there extra glocks just sitting around?

I've usually only had 2-4 percussion kids in my groups, so this one's new to me.

Have them ( weaker players)either stand behind a better player and follow along. Other option(not as good in my opinion, but you know your kids), have them sit in the back and remain silent and invisible.

They are "pointers".

They stand next to a performing person and point to spot we are playing and count the rests on their fingers.

Use your best kids on parts available. Others shadow them and stand behind them. Make sure no matter what those extra percussionists make it to that room!
