How to list extracurriculars?

Applying to College

<p>I have a question about breaking down e.c's. I've been my school's marching band since 9th grade. In 11th grade and this year, I'm the drum major (leader of the band). I'm not really sure how to record that on the application though (UC). Would I put "Marching Band" as the title of the activity and under the description put that I am head drum major? Or would I put "Drum Major of the Marching Band" as the activity?</p>

<p>Same sort of question with Jazz Band. I've been in it since 9th grade, but only first chair since 11th grade. Would I title it "Jazz Band" and in the description put that I was first chair? Or title it "First chair trumpet in Jazz Band" ?</p>

<p>Sorry if any of that was confusing. I appreciate any feedback.</p>

<p>@T26E4 so to clarify your answer… My activity name would be Marching Band ? And I would check the boxes that indicate 9th to 12th? Then, I would write in my description Drum Major 12th grade?? >< Thanks for taking the time to help me</p>

<p>Sure. It’s succinct and readily discernible. Remember, your readers are going to be scanning quickly to get a picture of you. They’re not going to go through your every item with a fine toothed comb.</p>
