There are EIGHT choral pieces on this year's A-S program.
You already know these: Ubi Caritas, SSB, Fiddler, Flight Song.
So in the next month, you need to learn FOUR pieces (well... actually FIVE; there are 2 movements from the Mozart Requiem).
The google drive address below has rehearsal tracks for five of this year's All State Chorus pieces:
But you already know Flight, SSB, and Fiddler... so scroll down, and make use of the tracks for WAYFARING and WE HAVE COME. Begin by listening to the performance track for each.

Here are separate Google drive folders for the 2 Mozart movements from his Requiem:
CONFUTATIS

LACRYMOSA

... I suggest you find and listen to performances online. I've included two YouTube links below which I think you will enjoy, or at least find interesting...
The SECOND link is the death scene from the 1984 movie Amadeus, set to the LACRYMOSA.
The FIRST link is the CONFUTATIS featuring a scrolling score (with Latin translation), along with dialogue from the scene in the movie where a dying Mozart is dictating the Confutatis to a rival musician, Antonio Salieri. Most likely fiction, although we do know that Mozart was in his last days, and died before completing the Requiem.
