I don’t want to sound negative but it seems that you are too busy doing EC. This seems to be reflected in your academics.

My understanding is that Princeton, and schools like Princeton, are more interested in your academics. EC is supplementary. You don’t need to do too many EC, just show passon and dedication.

Leadership is not that important. If you excel in your music then you can show your achievement. My daughter is in the process of applying and has been playing the piano and cello for more than 10 years. She has taken competence examinations (based on ABRMS) and has just completed the tests for the highest level. This is a form of leadership. Not too many people persist and excel up to that level.

Good luck…
