Tuning Issues

Hi, I'm a senior in high school and I'm first chair in our school's top band. Until this year I've never really had any problems with tuning, but for some reason, I'm having problems. I can never seem to match pitches with the rest of my section particularly my second chair trumpet, and it's quite frustrating. Any tips on tuning would be great. I'm not anywhere near way out of tune, but I'm usually about 5 cents flat, and I want to correct it. Throughout reheasals, I'm always adjusting my tuning slide to see if I can get any improvement. I've never had any real tuning problems, I have just picked up the horn and played but for some reason I'm off this year. Any advice would be of great help.

-Thanks
