maybe you should ask your band teacher or a professional flute player to fix it.

i accidentally dropped my flute once, and all the notes were messed up. i gave it to my band teacher, and she was able to fix it very quickly using a screw driver!

give it a try, if going to a instrument repair shop is not possible.

Why dont you take it to a musical instrument repair shop and have it tuned up? Mostly anyplace that sells instruments will be able to do it.

play clarinet

It can be a leak, or something minor (hopefully, if not you're in deep trouble) give it to your band director or a professional, they might be able to fix it...

DON'T try to fix it yourself. The adjustments are so fine that there is no way you'll be able to correctly fix it. You must bring it to a repair shop. If you tell them that you need it for a concert in 4 days, they will probably be able to get it done faster for you. If the problem isn't that difficult to fix, they may be able to fix it for you right when you bring it in. Ask!

We won't be able to help you in any other way than to tell you to go to a repair shop. To really know what's wrong, you have to hold the instrument in your hands. It likely has a spring that isn't in the correct place, and if you try to fix that yourself, you will probably damage it worse! Take it to a repair shop! Nobody here can help you!
