<p>I'm really involved in band, so I have a lot of music-related extracurriculars. Several are ensembles that are only open to certain grade levels, so it almost seems like my participation has been irregular over my four years...</p>
<p>Pep band (4 years)
Pit orchestra (4 years)
Wind ensemble (2 years)
Woodwind quintet (1 year)
All-conference (2 years)
Chamber wind (1 year)
Lab band (1 year)</p>
<p>I'm not sure how I should group these. I don't want to use so many spots since I have a lot of other activities, but I also want to be able to specify what year I did each and when I was in a leadership position...anyone have any advice? I'm guessing this is a common problem!</p>
<p>I was in band in high school that now that I think of it incorporated different programs, some of which required auditions (marching band, symphonic band, wind ensemble, music ambassadors), and I think I just put it all under marching band. In my head, to be honest, I just grouped it all under band so I didn’t even bother differentiating it, and I probably just put somewhere that I was a section leader.</p>
<p>I would just separate out the things that were most important to you (perhaps, the ones that were most prestigious, if you got an award, if you held a leadership position). Only you will really know which are the ones that are important enough to differentiate. I would probably determine how many you combine based on how many spaces you have left after putting other extracurriculars in.</p>
<p>I actually listed my music ECs by instrument and the amount of time I put into each one.</p>
