Community Service Hours?

Having just gone through the college application process with my engineering major son, I’ve seen how important it is to the colleges for highschool students to have lots of community service/volunteer hours in order to have a strong application. The schools also want to see examples of “leadership.”
My question is, do MT schools have that same expectation for the triple threat applicants? My daughter lives at the dance studio, or so it seems. She’s either in dance class, rehearsal, practicing piano/voice or doing gobs of schoolwork. Do the major MT colleges expect her to ditch dance class/rehearsal and stack food at the homeless shelter or build park paths, as did my Boy Scout son?
Sorry if I sound whiney. Now that I’ve put the first child into his dorm room, the idea of carving out time for more activities for my MT daughter seems over-whelming. Ideas?
