notes too high

Hey all!
As if I'm not stressed enough with solo competition coming up, my band director passed out a new march to work on. I play my soprano clarinet for band (first chair, go me!) and bass for solos, etc... The song is "March of the Belgian Parachutists." It could be a good song, but my band has nowhere near the talent to pull it off for festival. Alack and alas, my band director won't budge on the song, so we're stuck with it. The part goes up to a high A way above the staff. Is it OK for me to drop it an octave? It's near impossible for me to hit it on a dotted 8th note. I'm the only one on that part, so I can't try to fake it. There's no way anybody else in the section could hit that note. Thanks for the help.
