Will all-state band help college admissions?

I'm applying to competitive schools such as ivy leagues (specifically Dartmouth and Princeton) next year. I feel like I have a shot with my grades and test scores, but I know many people applying to such schools will have similar records. I am very involved in concert and marching band and always participate in all-county and all-district band. Last year I was able to make all-state honors band in NC, which is very competitive (top scorers from all-district band from across the state compete for one selective band). I am hoping this will help differentiate me from the crowd and possibly increase my chances of admission. Does anybody have any experience or know the impact this may make on an admissions decision?
