Starting a band, sentence 11
Balance means getting each part at the right volume so every part can be heard; being loudest does not make you sound best.
Who acts: Balance, you · What happens: mean, get, hear, be, not make, not sound · To what, where: part, right volume, you · Speech: someone speaks here
