Should I include two separate "hobbies" entries on my Work/Activities section?

The first is drumming - I've played in numerous bands, and have performed in several states on mini-tours.

The second is Tennis - I've played in national tournaments in my junior career (under 18), captain of my high school team, currently teach (included in my employment section), and have represented my state in a national team tennis tournament.

My concern is that the majority of my success is from before undergraduate for these activities. However, I still continue to drum and play tennis, but nowhere near like I used to do.

Thoughts? Thank you for your time.

If you've performed publicly since HS graduation, list the drumming under Artistic Endeavor and allude to your years of success. If you've played tennis regularly during college, put it under Hobbies, since you haven't been on a competitive team, but give the back story in the narrative. If involvement in both has been sporadic but steady during the college years and only for your own fun, you might enter both under a single Hobbies tag. If you've done each 5 times during college, consider not listing them and pick something else for a Hobbies entry.

Hey, can you please remind me what you recommend for hobbies that we have done very extensively to the point that we have no idea how many hours it has been? For example, I've been playing the bass since I was 12 and have really no estimate for hours behind thousands of them.

I have continued performing occasionally throughout college, so I will include as an artistic endeavor. Tennis will fall under a hobby.

I am at a loss of who to list as a contact for either of them.... Can I list a bandmate, or just myself?

Hobbies don't require a Contact. For the musical involvement, perhaps use a bandmate or old tutor.

You might enter 999 or 9999 hours, then express in the narrative that actual hours exceed this and are unknowable.

when I filled mine out it asked for either total hours or hours per week, in which case I listed my current hours per week on the hobby and in description discussed the longitudinal history as you did above, so they knew 5 hr/wk of tennis didn't reflect dedication or skill, whatever
