Hi there... i didn't play trumpet, I played mellophone, so i know it's not quite the same thing... but close enough.
I had my wisdom teeth out shortly before band camp one summer, about a week before. I was fine at bandcamp. Best thing is to a) start slow when you start practicing again b) I agree with UF Pike about just practicing the notes.. c) speak to your band director- they should be sympathetic enough about having the solo down pat d) CALL YOUR DOCTOR if you're concerned about anything.
As for September 11th, if you're not well enough to play taps by then, you probably have some serious medical complications from having those teeth removed. Everyone has different circumstances, but this is still several weeks away. You should be totally back to yourself by then.
Give them a few days, you should be fine in no time.
