NYMT / BYMT 2021

Hi @Pollydollydimpledo glad your dd enjoyed it. Enjoy the waiting room!

Hi folks,

My daughter had the Sat Workshop and really enjoyed the experience 🤗 just waiting patiently now I guess!!!
Hope your children did too

Take care

Ah now you’ve said that I think they had rolling deadlines? We got it done in half term. So mid April makes sense thanks.

My DS has also applied for NYT but only submitted his video yesterday so I wouldn't be expecting any news yet!! .

I think it says on their site that they will hear by some time in mid April if they have a recall, and the recall slots get filled as they go, so I hope he hasn't left it too late. He really wants NYMT because that's what he knows, but we have to be realistic about chances so no harm in throwing another iron in the fire. NYT did an online workshop with his school a few weeks ago and he absolutely loved it - I suspect it's completely his kind of thing, so if by some miracle he got it (thousands apply for I think 700 places?) he'd be pretty happy.

Thank you both

I’ll have a look and see if they viewed it!

@Newgirls Think there may be a few on here. My dd has put all her eggs in NYMT’s basket though so I’m not the best person to help.

@Newgirls yes my DS has also applied for NYT-I can see they have viewed the video but nothing yet.

Does anyone have a kid also applying for NYT this year? I can’t find a thread on that!

If so, anyone heard yet?

This has dropped off my threads so I just posting to stay on.

Over here, with the gin! A few weeks yet to wait then...

My dd enjoyed her audition this morning. She said everyone was brilliant. She couldn’t really assess how it had gone but she was happy so honestly that is what matters. They did say at the end that there is one more week of auditions next weekend and that it would be a few weeks until they hear if they get a recall. We are relaxed either way. Obviously it would be lovely to get a recall but I think she may be at a tricky age for the next couple of years, she is 14 but 5ft 9, so definitely can’t get away with a child’s role and not old enough for an adult. I think the audition is valuable experience in itself. Still waiting to hear re Stage Choir and I assume height may not matter for that, so we will see. Glad the others taking part this weekend have enjoyed it. The waiting continues.......... where is the wine?

@lowbudgetnigella Glad he enjoyed it.

Happy waiting everyone!

My DS did workshop this morning, he enjoyed it and we are looking at it as first experience of this sort of thing so all good

Well done to yesterday's auditionees.

Is that it now for the DC on this board, or are there any left for today or even next weekend?

My DS seemed to enjoy himself yesterday, not easy to get information out of him and he locked himself upstairs in a bedroom (with the bed upended) to make room. Sounded like a herd of elephants coming through the ceiling at times.

@Triflefan there was one this morning but they split them into two groups so might not of seen your sofa parkour! Dd is really happy with what she did so all good here. Hope all dc that have workshops this weekend have a good experience too.

@Triflefan my student was this afternoon I think- she didn’t turn up for her zoom lesson at 2.30 with me today and I assumed she was at her NyMt workshop. I’ve asked her to let me know how she gets on so will update here when I hear from her.

@Alakazam8 and @aplo was there just one workshop this morning? Presumably they were all in the same one? Maybe they saw my fabulous gymnastic skills?! 😆

Glad to hear everyone has enjoyed it. I was listening in occasionally and wondered what on Earth DS was on about giving lame reasons for being late but it was apparently charades!

@Triflefan finished at 1. Dd did her absolute best and enjoyed it all so I was really happy. They really seem lovely and were very encouraging throughout the workshop.

@Triflefan I’m laughing at the image of you climbing over the sofa- we have done similar here. Our WiFi can be patchy at times so getting through the workshop had us all holding breaths willing it to work.

Hopefully all who had their workshops this morning enjoyed them and best of luck to all those on this afternoon and tomorrow.

Hello to the waiting room! DS is currently in his workshop and seems to be having a great time. How’s yours getting on @Alakazam8

@minimits no nursery rhymes? Thats so sad
Well our wifi has gone down no less than 4 times during this workshop! At one point I had to climb over the pushed back furniture to try and reboot it. Predictably it came back on just as I was attractively rolling back over the sofa 😂😂

@aplo
DS has been having zoom singing lessons luckily so that’s something he’s had to focus on.

I guess now we all forget about it until we hear again! I’m keeping everything crossed for us all to be watching our children in these shows!

Good luck to the DCs who have workshops today and tomorrow

@DalekFan Thank you!

Thanks for the confirmation Alakazam8 and chaperonemum

Hope all the DCs doing workshops this weekend enjoy themselves. And a big Happy Birthday to your DS @Biscuitsneeded 🎁🎂🎉
