Are you sure you searched everywhere for the music including binders and other places it may have fallen out between classes. Is there any possibility you mixed it up with other papers? If not than going to the bandleader and explaining the music isn't memorized and missing is your only option. I wouldn't accuse someone of taking it because that won't go over well. Instead mention that you think someone may have taken it not knowing it wasn't their own.

If you get your grade and you have been written up consult your parents who can approach the school about getting you a second chance or higher mark based solely on what you performed without who lost what being a factor. After all your ability to play a piece has zilch to do with misplacing something which I'm sure the teacher has. If they berate you ask them about the last time they forgot an important item. They won't have a leg to stand on to punish you.

There is an old expression that says "You cannot be harmed by telling the truth." Tell the Band Leader someone has taken your music and ask if there is another copy you can use to perform with.

I'm fairly confident your copy is not the only copy of that music. Go to the Band Leader in the morning before you have to perform, not 5 minutes before you must perform.

The Band Director could mark you down for leaving the music in a place it could be lost or stolen that is entirely the Band Leaders discretion. IF you perform well the mark down will not cause you to fail just not get the high grade you hope for. Afterwards you can appeal the grade.
