This happens to me alot.
Whenever I'm playing a lot for a period of time(usually an hour or so, and usually in class) My flute gets a fuzzy sound, or, if it's alot of repeated high notes, not very well at all. Whenever I swab my instrument quickly between plays it usually sounds a little better. But I can't do that for concerts or anything.
Any suggestions? Am I over-blowing or something?

That happens to me sometimes too. But I have been told it is due to inconsistant airflow. After a while you may get tired and change your air-flow. In turn that changes the sound. Try to practice sustaining notes.

I wouldn't know if you were over blowing unless I heard you, and I'm not a professional on the flute...that's for sure...but what avixen said sounds right. I think I even do that when I'm tired.
And also, drink a lot of water. It helped me not sound fuzzy, or even spit sometimes on the high notes.

That has never happened to me before. I usually play for a LONG period of time but that doesn't happen. ^^

You need to keep a STEADY stream of air flowing from your embocure. Steady being the key word here. If this helps any, flute takes as much air as a tuba. The fuzzy sound comes from not using enough air. For the high notes, you should tounge to get the note out unless the music says otherwise. You should practice your high notes when you practice and try to make it to 5 clear high notes in a row. Remember to support using your abdominal muscles and tounge the notes while keeping a steady air stream. If I could hear you play, then I could probably give more pointers.
