Start by calling your high school and making an appointment with your school counselor. Tell your counselor you have no idea how to start this process.
If your school does not have a counselor for you or you can't get in to see them, then I feel bad for you and all the students at your school.

Make sure you have your SAT or ACT scores in and if not do that as soon as possible. You can start looking at scholarships in the spring I believe, your parents will need to fill out the FAFSA and the sooner the better but they will need to wait until after the new year to do that when they get W-2s in and what not. You can also apply early to colleges or apply in the spring. Keep your grades up and stay in band and take up any of the other clubs offered if you have time, colleges look at grades but they also look at the extra curricular activities as well. Also, don't stress and good luck in your senior year!
1) congrats.
2) try your very best to get to a good college
3) if not, any higher education, even community college will do for the next 2 years after grad.; then transferring to a university
4) prepare to enter the real life.
Do you know the analogy between being a senior in HS and a parachute jumper for the very first time?
Ask!
start looking into schools that you would be interested in. If you want music to be a big part of your life look into schools that offer it as a major. If you are an outstanding musician then you can be offered a good talent scholarship. Never neglect your studies either, good grades can get you a good scholarship too. Also try to make yourself more rounded by if possible join other clubs. If you find a few schools that you would be interested in attending find out when their open houses are and visit them. if you want to you can also apply for music scholarships through fastweb.com and look for schools on collegeboard.com . Good luck with your future!
