You obviously are under some pressure from the events coming up.
Why not turn the practise sessions to a factor contributing to relaxation and to balance of body and mind?
Do not rush into the hard and difficult stuff. Start out with a thorough warm-up comprising flexibility, long notes, and low range. Be sure, that your find your own sound on the tuba, before you take up the harder challenges.
If you feel comfortable, whith what you do, you might very well be able to continue for longer spans of time. Which does not mean, that you should skip breaks at reasonable intervals.
