Any tips?

Warm up lightly. Avoid dairy, avoid foods/drinks with citric acid (lemons, oranges), drink plenty of room temp water. Keep hydrated! Avoid hot drinks and icy drinks - these will alternately scald and shock your vocal cords. Citric acid will irritate your vocal cords (burn them), if you are congested you can have no more than 1/4 cup of OJ or a slice or two of lemon to clear the phlegm. Be sure to follow with room temp water.

You need to be properly supporting your breath. The high notes take more air than the lower ones - if you can figure out how to find a place to take a good breath right before you launch into the higher octaves do so. Be sure to open up the back of your mouth and breathe! Your mouth should be a "cavern" - a nice open space for the sound to escape.

Make sure and warm up your voice first. Practice some easier notes or songs. Then try to hit the high note. Breathe, breathe, that will also help.
Spend some time warming up with scales. Start low and build to the higher notes. But dont belt out your warm up save your voice for the performance.

Note that higher notes come out the clearest when they are supported from the deep part of you diaphram so take deep breaths and make sure you have enough air support otherwise it comes out screechy.

I hope you sound beautiful. Good Luck.
drink an 8 ounce glass of lemon juice and wear a warm slightly wet towel around your neck just dampen it and put it in the microwave for about 45 seconds or so, this will loosen up your vocal chords and the lemon juice will help to relax them as well... and of course 10 minutes of vocal practice!!!!
Two days will be enough to try these suggestions and hit those notes:

-Maybe you need to use more air pressure so put your hand on your stomach and as you sing make some pressure "in" with your hands.

-Sometimes you get the notes by using a different voicing. Think a smaller oral cavity in the front of your mouth while the back of your throat could be somewhat open.

-Maybe you just need to warm up properly, so get some good vocalization patterns and get all those muscles warmed.

Some more: don't sing in the morning and don't drink dairy products before singing. Dairy products stimulate phlegm production...fatal for singers.

Knock them dead....the high notes.
No matter what technique you use to practice and prepare to hit those high notes, in the end, it's the whole performance that counts. So this is what I have to say: Enjoy the performance and SING YOUR HEART OUT! Everybody will LOVE it no matter if you miss some notes. I am sure you sing beautifully so focus on the whole instead of stressing out about a few notes. GOOD LUCK!
have a miget in your pants squeezing your testicles, works everytime!

p.s. you may want to drink coffee, black. it always lubricates my voice when I am singing or holding lengthy sales meetings-seriously. you can always drink decaf, if the leaded gets you jittery. don't want to be nervous wreck, ya know.
i like to visualize. for example, visualize a basketball hoop, and try to "get your pitch in"
