One activity, different leadership roles, how to list

Agree with your college advisor that using 2–3 slots may create the unfortunate impression that she’s trying to pad the list even if that’s not her intent. Perhaps she can write something like “Member/Section-Captain/President of Marching Band” in the title and write “Member since 9th grade, appointed Section Captain in 10th and 11th, and voted President in 12th. As President, I did this and that…” in the description (or additional info section if deemed appropriate). This shows longevity and a series of promotion within the same organization/activity (which is great) while freeing up space for other activities.
