You wrote that you sounded "flat" and had to "lip up, but not enough" most of the concert. If, as you also wrote, the clarinet you had fixed up was an *A* clarinet, that would be the intonation problem. Most concert band parts are written for the Bb clarinet and should be played on such--unless you are a viruosic transposer. If you instrument IS a Bb, and not an A, than perhaps all you need is a shorter barrel--but if it is an A, you need to join an orchestra or/and get a Bb clarinet to play band music--again, most, written for the Bb clarinet.
Nevertheless, congrats on your musical return--and don't forget those repeats.
