So sorry to hear about your DD @Comefromaway. These kids have lost out on so much recently Sad

@Mcmumager

So licensing forms all submitted for Peter Pan. Anyone else swinging between excitement that things can go ahead and stress waiting for that test and trace ping or positive test result!

Any of the BYMT reserves heard anything lately?

As another Peter Pan mum yes terrified that my DD might be the one who brings down the whole production. She is so good and so careful and our household is tested all the time as DH is elite sports testing program. Still very anxious about.

Three others have now tested positive. It’s 5/6 days from exposure.

So sorry to hear that, and sad for her. Sending hugs x

Comefromaway · 03/07/2021 22:38

She’s not at home. She’s in halls of residence.

Comefromaway · 03/07/2021 22:37

Physically she’s fine. A slightly dry throat. She’s double jabbed. Mentally she’s devastated.

Lonecatwithkitten · 03/07/2021 21:11

@Comefromaway

Dd tested positive today. She is devastated. 8 years of vocational school is now over. No showcase, no goodbyes.
I am so sorry for her, that is just so unfair. The virus has caused so much havoc to so many. Hope you all stay well.

@Comefromaway I'm so sorry to read that. This virus has wreaked such misery. I hope your poor DD doesn't feel too grotty, and that the rest of your household escapes.

Mcmumager · 03/07/2021 21:03

@Comefromaway that is so very sad. I hope she doesn’t feel too poorly to add to her misery.

@Vivalettre

Thanks *@Lonecatwithkitten* - gives us some hope!! I guess A.L.I.C.E would have had a few casting days as well earlier in the year?

Fingers crossed for anyone else still waiting...!

No it was a devised show, the only thing that existing at the beginning of the 2 weeks was a title and a single song. Everything else was created in the 2 weeks of rehearsal.

Lonecatwithkitten · 03/07/2021 06:47

@Vivalettre A.L.I.C.E in 2019 was 13 days from drop off on a Monday lunchtime to final pick up on a Sunday morning - so yes some are 2weeks.

From discussions it seems the more individual roles has the more likely it is to be 3 weeks ( so time for casting etc). But there is quite a bit of variation.

Vivalettre · 02/07/2021 17:20

By the way, @Anjoujo, if you haven't heard by now definitely worth contacting them (probably on Monday now). Hannah said my DD should have received an e-mail before about being a reserve, so there must have been a glitch somewhere as we definitely didn't receive anything...

Vivalettre · 02/07/2021 17:15

So... DD is on the reserve list! Very exciting but I suspect she won't be able to do it even if she got offered a place as she's now only available for about two and a half weeks in August...Sad...
Does anyone know if the residentials for the shows are all for a full three weeks? The website says 2-3 weeks but I've only ever heard of BYMT doing three-week residentials....

Vivalettre · 01/07/2021 21:30

Hi @DalekFan nothing for us either .... I did chase Hannah a couple of days ago but no response as yet ...Confused

Anjoujo · 01/07/2021 21:25

Hi @DalekFan, nothing yet from the BYMT - maybe I should call? Eek!

DalekFan · 01/07/2021 20:19

@Anjoujo and @Vivalettre any news for your DDs? 🤞🤞

Comefromaway · 29/06/2021 13:27

I think at this point we are actually on Plan C!

Good that there is a plan B x

They've got a back up plan (the showcase was originally supposed to be 2 weeks ago but was already postponed once due to multiple positive cases.

They are going to stay an extra week. On the day the 10 days isolation ends they will go back into class and have a tech/dress run the following day. They will then perform for family on the Saturday afternoon followed by drinks/nibbles where they can dress up in their (cancelled) prom outfits. It won't be as polished but it will be something.

Comefromaway · 29/06/2021 11:44

The kids think the pcr will be positive. They all do a lateral flow test on a Sunday which were all nagative but this student started to feel a bit off colour/achy yesterday so took an extra lateral flow as a precaution.

Mcmumager · 29/06/2021 11:41

@Comefromaway that is so sad and disappointing for them. Will cross fingers things work out.
