<p>Would it be appropriate to list awards that I've won at "Battle of the Bands" type of events on my resume? </p>
<p>I realize they're obviously not academic in nature, nor do they demonstrate a commitment to service or anything of that sort, but practicing and performing is time-consuming and does require dedication.</p>
<p>What does CC think?</p>
<p>Put them on the application. It shows a different side to you.</p>
<p>You should list them.</p>
<p>^ agreed, plus it shows your interest in music and an instrument!</p>
<p>no doubt. thats definitely an important aspect of your character</p>
<p>Yea definitely talk about it. I'm talking about my band in my applications. That's my biggest non-academic EC since I've spent so much time on it (60+ shows in about a year and a half) and I'm assuming it's been just as important to you. It's good as a well-rounded thing plus something you have a passion for and shows that you can put in A LOT of effort into something totally not academic.</p>
