Tell your band director what you have told us. He should be the first to concede that sound is FAR preferable to looks. Case in point (albeit strange): Barbra Streisand is a very homely woman, but sings beautifully. If anyone told her she had to have a facelift, she would tell them where to go PDQ!
Seriously, since you have a keen understanding of the sound and your section's volume limitation; speak up!
I hope your band plays well and enjoys the state competition. Let us know what happens.
