"I have a court appearance tomorrow morning"

Guess what happens if you don't appear?

A Fail to Appear warrant will be issued.

You will need to show up. And if you fail to appear you will get a bench warrant issues, that makes you fair game any time you get picked up for anything else.

Yes. You chose to fight the ticket rather than plead guilty and just pay the fine the quick and easy way.

You need to show up for court, or else a warrant will be issued because you weren't in court, and you still will need to go to court.

If you wanted to plead guilty, you should do whatever you can to change the plea, but since court is tomorrow, it's probably too late.
