What should I do? Caught between an obligation and a desire?

I've wanted to be in a school play since forever and now there's a musical coming up at my school. I was totally amped to get up there and do it, but, of course, doubt rolls in. That's not the problem, though, that I think I won't make it, I believe there's a good chance I'll make it in, but the problem is if I can juggle all those responsibilities. Rehearsal is every week, five days a week until the day of performances. If I didn't have my odyssey team I'd do it in a second. But I have Odyssey, it's only about 3 days a week but it's getting to a point where there's a lot to get done before our competition dates. I want to do both, and there must be a way to give myself wholeheartedly. I'm thinking I can go to rehearsals 3 days a week and go to Odyssey weekends and the other two days. Isn't that a good compromise? I'm afraid that if I put that on paper , I'll lose the percent of chance I have to do the musical. I'm sure there is a person who can have the time and talent to do it and would beat me out because of it. Not only that, but I'm a dedicated person and it tears me up to not do well in either field because I'm stretching myself to thin! I don't want to do a half ass job in either one. It doesn't help that I've promised myself to the club first, so I feel that one of my first prioties. I told both teachers involved in both this problem and it seems it won't be a great fix either way. Once I was told it didn't seem like I'd be able to meet a decent half-way, I figured I'd stay with Odyssey. I might not get the part I want in the musical and there may be a better person suited for the role. Not to mention, I'm already in Odyssey and I'm the anchor for this really. I'm the only person consistent in the meetings beside the teacher who is Always there as well. There's always someone missing and so far we've only had one meeting with everyone there and that was recently even when we're so close to competition date. Should I really give up a chance to do something I want to do on such unreliable people? I'm dedicated to my team of six, but it doesn't seem like there all that dedicated to this. Seriously what should I do? I just keep going around in circles. I want to get A's again this semester but will all this get in the way? Odyssey didn't before but a musical is a whole different thing. Please help me. What do you think I should do? Thanks for reading all this, and sorry for the weird grammar here and there. Leave your honest opinion, please. Thanks <)
