Engineering + non-major music + merit aid?

What are some schools with good engineering programs, potential for merit aid, and the opportunity to play in music ensembles and/or take lessons as a non-major?

My stats are as follows:
-4.0 UW GPA, 35 ACT
-likely NMF
-All-state level flutist

I am planning to major in engineering; however, I would also like to continue playing the flute, although it may be difficult to balance schoolwork and music-related activities. My family can contribute $25,000-$30,000 per year to my education; however, NPCs show that our EFC may range anywhere from $25,000 to $40,000, so I may need (stacked?) merit aid to offset the cost.
