AICE Music 1 Senior Year?

I can’t believe my junior D has to turn in her course selections for next year already! With very few required classes left and knowing that she is going to be VERY busy with applications, auditions and composing, along with a brutal marching band season as head drum major next year, she is trying to make wise choices of classes that will be beneficial but also not look like her schedule is too academically simple.
She will be doing dual enrollment at a local college for College Algebra and English, taking Honors Gov and Econ at her high school and then filling in with electives. The electives are currently Honors Band, AICE Music 1 and AICE Media Studies. The question is will this be music overkill? Should I suggest she add a more academic course instead of the Music or Media Studies class? She has definitely decided not to take a fourth year in Science or Foreign Language but I am wondering she should consider something like AP Psych. One advantage we have in our high school of over 4500 students is they offer every class imaginable.
Any advice would be appreciated. I would be particularly interested in anyone whose child has taken either of the AICE classes and what they thought of them.
