Try what Schwab says first. Then put a towel over the stand you play into. This method knocks off some higher overtones.
What piece are you playing that is too bright? The piece may call for a dark sound so be prepared to barrow a different horn.

Is the band director messing with your head? I hope not.

Get your band director to buy a Jupiter Pocket trumpet. I think it might play dark.
