Ed and Karl have given you good answers. Nobody plans to have clarinet issues, and it's not necessary to have your clarinet serviced each and every time a big event is coming up. Some of us would never have an instrument in hand if that was the case!
It should be said, however, that a good way to cut down the likelihood of such a situation in the future is to have your instrument gone over by a qualified tech once or twice a year for preventive maintenance, and, if possible, to have a back-up instrument available for use when your main horn is in the shop. This can be your A clarinet or, if you've stepped up from the horn you started on, your beginner/marching instrument.
Good luck on your contest on the 28th! Many of my clarinet students have a big evaluation event here in California that same day.
