 I keep seeing the HIGH A and B notes on oboe sheet music, but I don't know how to finger them. Anyone have any ideas? Tell me ASAP!

 well,
 -regular high A is left index and middle fingers, with 2nd octave key. For B, lift your middle finger. That's for B natural, not B-Flat.
 If you mean screamingly high A and B,well, it beats the crap out of me.

 For the high A, I know for sure you can use
 
 B
 0-3 | -23Eb
 Ab
 
 That's the side B natural and side Ab key I was trying to illustrate.
 
 For the high B, I'm not so sure right off the bat, but there are a lot of fingerings under the alternate oboe fingerings on this site.  Just click on the link at the top of this page and go to the oboe alternate fingerings page; you might find one there that works.  I've been meaning to ask my teacher for some definitive fingerings for high B and Bb... though he says he can't remember himself half the time.
