Hi, have just joined here so hope I am posting in the correct place. Just wondering if anyone here has a child auditioning for NYMT or similar groups this year.
My DD (age 11 ) is auditioning next sunday

EvilTwins I just listened to the guide track for that and it definitely sounds like 'getting ahead'. Certainly a better lyric!! Has you boy downloaded the guide and backing tracks or are you just working with the sheet music?

Anyone else looking at Imaginary Upgrade Time? I'm presuming "no harm in getting head" is a typo Blush

zoemason · 14/02/2017 12:08

We would only do one or the other so waiting to see if she gets NYMT part else she will be doing YMT.

Hi Zoe (waves) - we also have simultaneous YMT and NYMT irons in the fire.

It was about 11am last year. It's not far from the M25 and easy to find.

zoemason · 13/02/2017 22:06

Anyone who did it last year? If they get in and they have to go all the way to Kent what time do they go there for?? So if they start on the 2nd April for example will they have to be there early morning?

zoemason · 13/02/2017 20:43

Imaginary, Honk and little princess although she is only attending the Imaginary bit in the morning as we have something else on later in the day. We must be mad. Her YMT audition went very well too. It's going to be a busy summer!

Hello Zoemason! Well done to your DD. What is she recalled for?

zoemason · 13/02/2017 18:50

Hi my daughter has a recall for NYMT on Saturday. Not done this before! She also auditioned for YMT. Hello!!

Biscuitsneeded · 13/02/2017 17:56

How did it all go, Aplo? I guess your DD is now busy with the school musical. I have PM's you about meeting for a coffee after drop-off on Sunday... there may be quite a crowd. All welcome!

janinlondon · 13/02/2017 10:34

Just a note to let any SUNDAY auditionees know that two of the files on the audition link had been accidentally swapped and misnamed. Jeremy has renamed them this morning, so the link is now right.

EvilTwins, it's lovely you care so much. I hope 'your' boy is successful this time! DS is feeling quite daunted. I am going to sit down with him later and help him learn those Imaginary songs...

EvilTwins · 11/02/2017 18:01

My boy is there on Saturday for Sunday & Imaginary. Obviously I won't be there (feel like his bloody mother half the time, but I'm not... Like on Friday when he emailed me at 4am to tell me he was in hospital... Didn't see it til I got up of course, but still, I suppose I should be touched that he wanted me to know) but I will be sitting at home keeping things crossed for him. We're going to go over material in the week.

Same info about Princess. I've been very interested to see how Imaginary is looking. I'll be very excited if he gets into either - will definitely be there watching! Good luck to everyone's DC.

Good luck Aplo and DD at the YMT auditions! Hope it's fun!

Biscuitsneeded · 10/02/2017 21:55

Yes let's! I am coming with another mum whose daughter is a schoolfriend of DS and is recalled for exactly the same shows at the same time, but I don't really know her very well except that she's friendly, so the more the merrier! From what I remember there's not much in the way of coffee shops near the school but I'm sure we'll find something and it would be lovely to meet in the flesh! I'll PM you before next weekend (if I can work out how to!) so you'll know which one is me!

Looking forward to it, if you want to grab a coffee after they go in that would be lovely!

Just booked YMT too. We will have two long car journeys but I'm going to record the songs for NyMT tonight and we can rehearse uninterrupted there and back.
Dd is over the moon that one of the songs for imaginary is the song that Stuart M P posted this week on his Facebook and she has been listening and singing it all week!
Hope you hear soon biscuits, our two emails came together. (The princess clarification one and the recall material)

Email just came through here. Dd is surprised that there is no dance element this year.

Just had an email headed 'additional information' clarifying that there is no material for A Little Princess - as we suspected that will be cast once teh other casting process is complete. However, it also says 'hope you have all received your recall information', which we haven't. Poor Jeremy will now probably be deluged with people querying, so I think I will sit tight for a bit in case it turns up. Can I just check that the rest of you haven't got your info yet either? If there's been an email hitch I'm sure someone will alert Jeremy!

Biscuitsneeded · 10/02/2017 17:36

Oh Aplo I think you and DD should go to the YMT auditions and see what it's all about. Can't hurt to have two irons in the fire, can it?

Biscuitsneeded · 10/02/2017 17:11

Still nothing here...
