Internet-diagnosis coming up, so take witha grain of salt.

If you're bruised after a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal, you're using too much pressure on the MP. Thus, you're high range will suck and you will get tired. ;-)

I had to learn this too, and the trick is to relax, keep the mouthpiece touching your face just enough to not fall off. The seal and pressure should all be from your air support. It'll feel weird for a while, but in the long run it'll fix your problems.

Good luck!
