Amplification for Clarinet

I play in a trio, drums, accordian and then there is me. Saturday night was the gig from hell. We set up the amplification system in the afternoon and had it working perfectly, or so I thought. Comes the gig Saturday evening. The accordian player has two large speakers and then whatever you call it that his accordian plugs into, plus what he plugs the clarinet amplifier (his amplifier) into. I was using a Shure microphone that is mine and pretty new. As the evening went on, I could tell I was not being amplified. I kept tapping my mike and could barely hear it. I told accordian player so. He said he would turn me up. I don't think he did. What I am wondering is, is there a separate way I can amplify myself and not be at all connected with whatever it is he is doing on his side of the stage? I am technically challenged and therefore I cannot write here what the equipment is since I don't know, other than that it doesn't work right for me. I would appreciate any comments on this. Being overwhelmed by an accordian is not my idea of a good time.
