as I said, I highly suggest you use considerably SIMPLER harmony.

The goal of the course is not to amaze the other participants with your originality, but to learn how to use the instruments properly in a controlled environment.

And if you carefully reread the exercise you will notice that it says to write a short chord progression, 1 to 2 measures (that implies changing harmony on each beat for the former, or every 2 beats for the latter), and arrange it for each of the groups requested. Not write a new one for each group.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
