The classics...Cooperation? Teamwork? Listening to each other? Diversity? And many more words come to mind - I might also have completely missed the point! To my way of thinking competition only works where there is also cooperation.
Very, very good!
And, of course, as Cat says, they're not competing at all - although they're pretending to, everything they do is clearly well-rehearsed and worked out together. Imagine how tedious the performance would quickly become if they really were all playing as individuals and trying to out-do one another.
I think the music has spoken!
Ha. I do like your fish in a pond metaphor too.
Thank you for comments - it's coming across things like this that makes me forgive the internet quite a lot. Not everything, of course ...
