Help with a difficult passage

Help with a difficult passage

Hello Clarinet Reddit community! I'm in my school's high school marching band and we're playing "Harry Potter: The Music, Part 1" arr. Victor López as a part of our show this year. Towards the end, theres a part towards the end that everyone in my section has been struggling with greatly. This part is in concert G so the key signature is really difficult to deal with. The piece is up on Youtube, but I believe the section is at 148 bpm (in 6/8, dotted quarter note = 148 bpm), I might be wrong but its somewhere around that. The passage is the screenshot attatched. Someone in my section asked and I believe that they had said our director isn't letting us take it down an octave, and we have a playing test on it in the fall. Does anyone have any idea of alternate fingerings or ways to make it able to be played by not very experienced high schoolers?
