breathing problem

Ok, I was working on one of our all state pieces from the Klose book. I think is was page 222, start at beginning and end on line 6, measure 3 beat 1. The actual playing is not that hard, but I have trouble getting a breath in, especially in such short periods of time. I keep having to breathe every 2 measures or so. I have always had trouble breathing properly. Can someone tell me how to take in a large breath so quickly or how to make a small one last longer? I would appreciate it. Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, does anyone know where I can get an AL all state practice tape? The director here said she would record one for me, but that was months ago. I reminded her, but I guess she's just too busy with marching season. I need one soon if I can get one. I just do a lot better if I can hear what it's supposed to sound like. Thanks in advance.

Stephanie
