I don't know what to tell you.

I have no idea as to how you play irrespective of whether you can hit a high D. You may play with a corrupted embouchure. You may have wrong ideas about breathing. You may be playing with an undue anount of pressure.

All i can tell you is to play much lighter but I don't know how that's going to go over with your band director. 7 am is a bit ridiculous in my book but it's not my program.

I don't warm down, ever, so, I'm not an authority about it. You may be looking at getting up ridiculously early and going to but at 9 in order to let your face get to normal before you play. How's that grab you? That's really an extraordinary circumstance and I don't have an answer without knowing how you play and what concepts you've been taught.
