Schools to apply to?

I already have a decent list, but I'm still looking for more to find.

I'm a high school sophomore, with approximately a 3.9 gpa currently, on debate team, marching band, varsity swim, jv track, and pep band. I'm aiming to get into NHS as well.

APs (current and future): US History, Bio, English Comp, World History, Calculus, US Gov & Politics.

Honors (Current and future): English 9, English 10, Bio.

As for the type of college I'm looking for, they should ideally have a strong astronomy or astrophysics program. However, I would be interested in majoring in physics while minoring in either. My ideal program would be an astrophysics major with an aerospace engineering minor, mainly focused on spacecraft engineering. I'm planning on going all the way through to a Ph.D.

They should ideally have a marching band, it's a very important thing for me. I would also prefer either a campus in the heart of the city or in the middle of nowhere, the in-between just seems not all that appealing to me. I live in Michigan but in-state isn't the biggest factor.
