Use Glue. Seriously. Just a little dab to cover up the weak spot in the callous. Or scotch tape, but I've never tried that out.

Little dab of super glue, and some punctuation.

practice a bunch until thursday. stop when your fingers can't take anymore. then start again when they stop hurting. if that doesn't work, do the glue thing. i haven't tried scotch tape, but that'll probably fall off too easily. you'd be surprised, though, how fast your fingertips get back in shape... keep practicing!

Superglue your fingertips. I started to do this for 7-8 hour rehersals that KILL, even with callouses.
