Music composition assessment-presentation notes

My composition is in G major and 4/4 time. It is in ABACA form. I did not use the choices given. I created my own two bars melody to start the composition. My composition is called ‘Celebration' because of the cymbals, synth drum and the contrast between pianissimo and fortississimo. My composition’s tempo is moderate, which is in a moderate, steady speed. The expression marking that I used is Con Fuoco, which means with energy or passion, just like in a celebration. I used three different instruments, vibraphone for track 1-treble, synth drum for track 2-bass-and crash cymbals for track 3-percussion. I used ppp, pp for the first 8 bars-section A-p and mp in bars 9-16-section B-ppp in bars 25-31-section C-and used fff for the last note in the percussion track, leading back to section A. In section A, I continued to make it louder and louder until I reach fff and finish the composition with a long, loud fff note. I added 4 bars in the end and composed a rhythmic percussion track to end the composition. I used sequence, repetition and imitation. I also used an answering phase for section A and C.
