Traditionally for many years MN has had an audition thread; so here it is as the auditions start in a few days 😀

All U10 results might not be out yet. Or your DCS might be needed for U11.

mimu · 11/12/2018 20:02

thanks all that is helpful but we haven’t heard anything today when all the u10s seem to have done... oh well....

Sorry - cross post

Rupertswife · 11/12/2018 19:58

Mimu - it goes with school years, so your DC will be U10s

just answered my own question - it would be U11....

Wafflenose · 11/12/2018 19:57

U10 is school years 3, 4 and 5.
U11 year 6
U12 year 7
U13 year 8
Main year 9
A few exceptional children go up one more more years though.

mimu · 11/12/2018 19:53

oh right -i can’t remember if there was somewhere on the form for which one - mine turned 10 2 weeks ago so maybe it is U11?

kcmamma · 11/12/2018 19:49

So mine turned 9 at the end of August 2018 and was in for the U10s auditions

mimu · 11/12/2018 19:40

can i ask - are the U10s for 2019 , 9 or younger in August 2018 or is that wrong?

CoffeeTeaChocholate · 11/12/2018 19:37

A yes here (under 10 violin) !!! DD1 is dancing around in the kitchen.

Commiserations to the ones who didn’t get in. I know how hard everyone has worked for this.

Congratulations to all successful little musicians out there!

Trumpetboysmum · 11/12/2018 19:33

Well done everyone lots of fab under 10s results and if it’s a reserve place and regionals then that’s really good too Smile
Feeling really nervous for ds now but reckon it will be at least Thursday or even Friday for mains - so that means I have to keep focussed ( whilst worrying !!) for 2 or maybe even 3 more nativity plays !! Hmm
Actually doing the plays is quite good as whilst I’m at work I’m having to concentrate so hard on keeping the children together I ( almost) forget about it

kcmamma · 11/12/2018 19:21

Same here - place in regionals but reserve for the Main U10s (Violin) Confused

horseymum · 11/12/2018 19:19

NYOS interloper here! We got a no for the junior, my nerves were not up for taking much more waiting, but she's on the reserve list, whatever that means in practice! Her teacher was able to share that he never actually got in despite many attempts and he plays in a national professional orchestra so not the end of the world! We'll try again next year, it hasn't put her off. She was offered place on their training wind ensemble so will investigate that.

Radiodependent · 11/12/2018 19:15

Yes no feedback here either

Well done all 😀

Last year we got feedback at the same time as the offer of a place, but it sounds like they might be doing it differently this year.

Wafflenose · 11/12/2018 19:04

Congratulations to all the successful ones, and I hope the DCs that didn't get in will try again next year. Probably only 6 months until registration!

ZakStarkey · 11/12/2018 19:04

Congrats all!!!

ZakStarkey · 11/12/2018 19:04

No feedback here either

violinmama · 11/12/2018 19:03

Got a yes for U10 violin!!!

Decafcoffee · 11/12/2018 19:01

So proud of ds! He’s very pleased Grin
I didn’t get feedback in email. Did the feedback come separately ?

Rupertswife · 11/12/2018 19:00

Congrats to the new U10s! DS2 has a wonderful time in the course last year, and his playing came on loads. Smile

Radiodependent · 11/12/2018 18:59

Wow, lots of U10 acceptances. We are trying to find out if Ds’s friends got in too now, lots of texting going on! Commiserations to those who didn’t make it, as trumpet says it sounds as if they have a good chance in future years.
