Does anybody have any major advice on the third movement of Weber's 1st Concerto or just any of his work in general? I'm playing it in front of judges this weekend

Major advice?
Not sure what you mean by that, but some suggestions since you only have a few days before you have to play it in front of judges this weekend:
Do these two things over and over
First - slow, slow, slow practice. Listening and physically feeling every detail of the notes;
Second - play it at tempo all the way through without stopping; make it feel like a performance.
Then - repeat the two above.
Record yourself playing it; listen, repeat.
Listen to recordings of the piece to hear how it sounds with an orchestra, how it sounds in character. Recommend: De Peyer; Sabine Meyer; Andrew Ottensamer; Leister, and more...
Playful, virtuosic; fun.
There's a lot more that can be said, but you only have a few days and you don't want to overload yourself or overthink it at this point.
