Extremely sharp upper joint notes

Hello all,

I am playing alto clarinet in my band's concert where we are playing all of Lincolnshire Posy (version B of movement 3) as well as Jupiter from the Planets. It should go without saying that I need to be impeccably in tune, but I have a problem. I am using my school's Selmer Series 9 that is not in that great of condition, and all the upper stack notes (D/A, clarion B, altissimo C) are all extremely sharp. What can be done about bringing these pitches down without having to bend them down ridiculously?
