The Flute usually plays the highest part in a woodwind quartet or quintet. In an orchestra, the strings are more important, so the flute is usually only playing part of the time, while the violins are playing most of the time. Sometimes the flute part is the melody, but once in a while it is harmony. In a Sousa march, the flutes and piccolos play an extra-high fancy part that contrasts to the melody, and it is called an obligatto.

Why are flutes and piccolos similar?

Flutes and piccolos are more than similar. They are both a part of the flute family. Think of the piccolo as a tiny flute replica (or a baby flute). The piccolo is made smaller than the the average concert flute so that the player can achieve higher notes with much more ease, comfort, and reliable tuning. This means that the piccolo can play some high notes that the concert flute can not play but the concert flute can play some lower notes that the piccolo can not play.
