Playing for Longer Periods of Time

Hi,

I was recently invited to play at a special Honor Band Festival where the best players at different schools would come together for one weekend practice for hours on end and then perform on the last night. However, it requires almost eight to ten hours of non-stop clarinet playing for three days. By the last day my lip was so tired that I just almost 'faked' the whole practice and even parts of the performace. I sure I'll have to do this again soon, and I would like any suggestions to help me improve my endurance. I want to know how to last longer when you are asked to play practically non-stop for days. I heard things like tape or cigar wrapping help is it true? And if so how do you use it? Thank you.
