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?

Just desperately want to know so we can book holidays-as @Biscuitsneeded says there is so little time left to book anything if you are at state school or indeed teach in one! Looking at dates there isn’t even a week we can book without knowing NYMT results. Knowing how quickly everything is being booked I think we may all need to just house swap with each other! Grin

@Janet25 I think NYMT musician news will be a while yet. last year it was after the final castings for stage performers. I'm hoping they won't wait until then this year as stage castings are taking so much longer! but I think there may be some sort of second round, at least for those they don't know already, so it could be a while yet.

BYMT have said show offers will come out this week for musicians.

I was hoping for musicians we will hear more from both NYMT this week and also from BYMT which show they have been allocated if already in Musicians pool. Is there usually an order of when and who they let know first?

I still can't get my head round what dates I need to be aware of. I only manage to deal with one bit at a time.

If they are planning to do recalls 'during April' then the news has to come soon, surely? I'm hoping this week!

Oh surely not weeks more??? (Dies). It's OK for families with kids at independent schools, as they get long holidays and can take a family week in July, but state schools round here don't break up till the day before the first NYMT residential starts. We just need to know if it's a no, or at narrow down the dates a bit, for the sake of parents and siblings who need to book a holiday before the entire country's holiday destinations are booked up!

@chaperonemum possibly up to another couple of weeks I think. They said they would need time after the last workshop before recalling performers.

chaperonemum · 30/03/2021 08:52

So I've kind of lost track. When do we think the performers will find out? Are we on the sofa for another couple of weeks?

chaperonemum · 29/03/2021 17:18

Same!!!

minimits · 29/03/2021 16:55

I’m with you there! DS and I are trying not to go craaaaazy waiting!

DalekFan · 29/03/2021 16:44

Oh @doesanybodyhaveamap your post did make me chuckle! I feel the same. Just want to know either way 🤷‍♀️

Alakazam8 · 29/03/2021 16:43

Biscuitsneeded · 27/03/2021 09:14

Good luck to anyone doing the very last workshops this weekend. And fingers crossed for news soon...

Newgirls · 26/03/2021 15:04

I can’t remember if we applied now!

Janet25 · 26/03/2021 14:42

That was for Musicians.

DalekFan · 26/03/2021 13:33

@Janet25 was that for stage performers, musicians or both?

Janet25 · 26/03/2021 10:52

Our email said offers should be put out on Friday 26th March, so we’re waiting patiently to hear Smile

So..... does 26th count as 'end of March' for BYMT news perhaps....? Or do we think next week??
