"It's not as important to know your part, but what you 

are a part of."  -Hilary Duthoo

In band, one person could know every single note on 

the page but unless that dedication is met by all the 

members of the ensemble, the final product will not 

fulfill its original potential.  A similar effect is 

observed in a theatrical play.  Everyone must know 

his part or else the play is not as good as it could be. 

A football player has to believe in his teammates and 

give his best effort to the team.   It is amazing to be a 

part of something that believes in teamwork.  You 

are not just an actor, you are a part of a play; you are 

not just a football player, you are on the football 

team; you are not just a musician, you are a part of a

band.  We will succeed if we are in this together.
