Advice needed

So in my highschool band we are playing the music to the Polar Express for our holiday concert (among other things) and in the final part there are a couple high Ds (above high C) and Im having trouble hitting them. My range is really only up to a high C, and thats on good days (Im 16). There are only 3 other trumpets (35 kids in the band, 600 in the entire school 7-12) and they cant get the Ds either. I would really like to hit them for the concert (it would sound much better than just playing an octave lower) so if anyone has some advice on what I could practice to extend my range by even just 1-2 notes I would be very greatful.

thanks

Peter
