Ask your band director if he has a spare.

If you get it fixed, the shop may have a loaner you can use.

Guesses:

It doesn't really sound like a "pad" issue because you can play all the notes below it. However, if it has been a long time since it was serviced you probably have leaks all over - most people do.

You may have some fuzz or something in the tone hole beneath the pad attached to your right hand ring keys. Only if it's a student horn, don't do this with a professional model: If you can find a screwdriver that EXACTLY fits the screws, you can take it off to see. You need to loosen both the top and bottom screws. You have to take the top one out, but you can leave the bottom one in just a little bit. You may have to press the F#/C# pinky key to get room. Be careful not to damage the tone hole.
