Molly endurance

We are plaing the song Molly on the shore by grainger(which I know many of you have heard of) in our band, We have a six person clarinet section, so our conducter divided the parts as 1 first, 1 second, 2 3rds, and 2 4ths. I am the only one on first. That is all fine and dandy for the first page or so. Then the contimuous playing with no places to take a break because no one else is playing your part and you are covering the oboe part really starts to get to you. By the time we finish the sang I feel very tired and out of breath. That is very fun if you end a concert that way, but the band we are plaing that in is right before another ensamble I am in. How (or what) can I do to make this less grueling, and is there any advice from anyone out there who has played this song way too many times?
