Answer 1

Many scholarships you might win are based largely on extra-curricular activities.  Leadership skills, thinking skills, volunteer work, helping your community, and taking initiative are things to keep in mind.

Answer 2

It depends on what you are interested in. Do you like:

Helping people - join a community service club

Performing - drama club, band, dance, music classes

Academics - Honor societies

Athletics - Baseball, basketball, soccer, ect.

The actually club that you are involved in, truthfully, doesn't matter. Colleges like to see two things for extracurriculars. These are consistency/dedication, meaning the same club(s) for all four years of high school, and leadership positions (President, Treasurer, Secretary).

Side note: Colleges will ONLY care about extracurriculars that you did in High School. The fact that you took three years of band in middle school (I am assuming since you are 13) will not matter because they request that you only put High school extracurriculars on your application. Therefore, I wouldn't consider three years of band enough for the college application process.

Best of luck!

Answer 3

As you said that you do band for  3 years it's good but you also participate in various sport's activity like cricket, footwall and other indoor games also  which help to you get a good collage
