^ So monitoring your local bluebird count is worthy of including as an EC for colleges, but putting thousands of hours of training into an activity and winning awards at the national level, with external sponsorship, is not? I think I’m missing something here.

Being the 1st chair of your school orchestra in 9th grade means relatively little. Previous experience and training are obviously implied, but the level of ability is widely variable. Performing at Carnegie Hall in middle school is an entirely different matter.
