Do I Need to Add More Safeties?

No, I was suggesting colleges where there is NO MT major but where students can participate in good music&theater groups. I listed Davidson because AFAIK they have excellent facilities and strong offerings in theater, music, and dance. Same as most on that list.
My goal is to show OP some colleges that may not be on their radar but would be a fallback if the auditioned program plan failed; since OP has strong academics Davidson would be within range and they don’t have an oversupply of MO applicants.
Again, to repeat, the list Davidson is part of is for a separate “what if I don’t get into an auditioned program?” list based on academics+access to good facilities/teachers/opportunities. Having just the programs OP listed, with 2-5 (10???)% acceptance rates, is to me like shotgunning the Ivies - a strategy that is too risky.
