NYMT / BYMT 2021

Starting a new thread for NYMT / BYMT hopefuls in 2021.

DD13 is auditioning for NYMT for the second time as stage performer and as musician. We just received an invite to the next round (online workshops).

She was gutted that Covid put a stop to her show (Imaginary) last year so we are keeping everything crossed that she gets another shot.

We've also booked a BYMT audition and she's already in the musician pool there so hopefully a show of some sort this year if we get some kind of normality back again...

Anyone else out there?

Congratulations to your DD @wimdancer👏👏 Bet she is thrilled. 😄

Mcmumager · 03/04/2021 12:01

So do we think more NYMT emails will come today?

wimdancer · 03/04/2021 11:50

@chaperonemum . Thanks so much! Yes they did tell us which show- it's 'Dance Connections-6- the ministry of truth' to be in Cardiff. She auditioned 31 jan. I think they must be giving results out by show as my other daughter auditioned same day, same age group, but not heard back yet.

Great news for your DD @wimdancer do they tell you which show she has got? Out of interest when did she audition for bymt?

wimdancer · 03/04/2021 10:44

@Biscuitsneeded thanks- yes, thankfully timing definitely helped, removed the disappointment. Dread to think how she would have felt if they were both no's on the same day!

Will bring extra gin today, trying not to start too early!!!

I think we might be running out of gin in this waiting room...

Congratulations @wimdancer on the BYMT offer! That was excellent timing for your DD!

@wimdancer congratulations on the BYMT offer!! Great to hear they have started sending out offers now. What show has your DD been offered?

So sorry to hear of the nos. Nothing here yet but as most of you know Ds only applied for musician so not expecting anything yet.

wimdancer · 02/04/2021 22:39

DD got a no yesterday from NYMT but a yes from BYMT so their results are starting to come out too.

Yr10mom · 02/04/2021 22:32

another musician here - nothing yet

Not yet @Janet25 . I have a few friends also waiting and none of us have heard yet.

Has anyone heard regarding musicians audition with NYMT yet?

2020again · 02/04/2021 21:06

Just seen that our no went into junk at 4.45 pm today. DD is so disappointed. Are all the nos invited to join the summer course in August? Good luck to those still waiting... think the longer there is silence the better.

Alakazam8 · 02/04/2021 20:13

Was kind of hoping we’d had all the no’s by now too. I’m hoping no news is good news for dd.
I know of someone who has been told they’ve got a place in choir for hunchback (yesterday) so they’ve done some yes’s too!

Biscuitsneeded · 02/04/2021 20:04

@Triflefan Yes, I know, no worries! And we should bear in mind they are also sorting out everything else for the summer as well as the casting currently - all with the extra dimension of not knowing what will and won't be allowed by then!

Triflefan · 02/04/2021 20:00

@Biscuitsneeded

Oh I wasn’t suggesting any impatience on anyone’s part. I expect they had a lot of latecomers and was just imagining how frantic they might be!
Must be a massive task

Biscuitsneeded · 02/04/2021 19:56

@Triflefan maybe. Of course I want them to have a weekend! But I also know how hard they work, mostly out of love for the organisation. Emails have come late at night many times before! However I'm inclined to think they will at least give themselves the night off now. Maybe there will be more news tomorrow.

Oh my goodness @Mcmumager I really hoped we might have reached the end of the no's! 🤦‍♀️😫

@notaclue08
I was blissfully unaware of any movement and now I’m refreshing emails constantly in case I’m attached to DS’s details from last year 😆

@Biscuitsneeded
Surely they’ll all need the long weekend off? I’m thinking they’ll be taking a well earned break.

The nervous wait continues...
I have a glass of fizz. Cheers all!

Mcmumager · 02/04/2021 19:47

I’ve just seen a no from someone! They are still coming! Anyone heard of any recalls?

Biscuitsneeded · 02/04/2021 19:31

Do you think they've shut up shop for the evening??
