Will going to CC mean less chance for scholarships when I transfer?

I have been offered a $2500/yr scholarship from my state flagship if I major in music and participate in the band. I don’t know for sure what I want to major in. I used to think maybe music but I am much less sure about it recently.

I’m also considering the local CC since it looks like a lot of the first year will be the same type of classes. I wonder if I go to the CC for one or two years is that going to mean I may not get a scholarship when I transfer to a 4-year school?

Also I guess I am going to miss out on the traditional going away college experience - that is sort of bothering me too. I am starting to feel like I’ve failed before I even get started.

Has anyone else been thinking about these things or can give me some hope it can still turn out OK. You know most of my HS friends are going off to college and some keep saying the CC is for those that are low life or not to bright.
