It’s unlikely that these positions will be decisive in your prospects unless they somehow relate to your application. E.g., if you hope to do lighting in theatrical productions in college, and write about that in an essay or short answer, then evidence of your experience could help. Otherwise, you’ll get “credit” for a solid EC. That’s not a bad thing. :)

It’s great to be director of the play or editor of the newpaper, but even those don’t stand out among CU applicants. Don’t try to get involved in activities to accumulate leadership roles, particularly ones that don’t interest you - it’s far better to do something you have a passion for - either as part of an organized activity or on your own.
