I feel you've given enough time to band to have it be recognized. The reason why I'd join band is just to say that I know how to play an instrument.. and you can already say that. On top of that, the flute is one of the best instruments out there, heh. Oh, that and the violin... *thinks* Oooh... how I liked that oriental girl with the electrical violin.
Anywho, what I'm saying is that... since you don't plan on taking Band to college, not much more would be gained with one or two more years (except for the experience of being "Wood Wind Captain")
Field Hockey is a new experience, and being part of a team is quite a bit different than playing casually with a few friends. If you commit to field hockey as well as I assume you had commited to Band thus far, then I presume you'll get very far... (never knew there were scholarships for field hockey though).
What I'd do is pursue field hockey, continue practicing the flute in my spare time, and then look for more options as far as careers go.
G'luck with the choice. Whatever you choose though, make the best of it. No regrets.
