NYMT/BYMT 2024!

No for our house. But I’d think the email address would be the same.

I also didn’t receive a confirmation email despite filling in the acceptance form within the time frame! Starting to panic a bit now!

Does anyone have a contact number I can ring tomorrow please?

@Mcmumager was that for CB please?

This was the email address it came from

: National Youth Music Theatre - Accounts <[email protected]>

We received payment advice for Into the Woods on Sunday as well.

I asked my ds today as this is first year he’s been in charge. Although obviously delegating paying the bills to me. Anyway he then forwarded me 3 invoices - one for each instalment. He is in our house and received them on Sunday.

@Biscuitsneeded yew did the form and took a screen shot of the message saying it’s completed! Think it’s because we’re newbies to this! Yes please if your friend can let you/me know I would be grateful! I didn’t know whether to email them about it!

@Biscuitsneeded yes please CB! My Dd is worried we’ve missed it and they’ll give her place away! 😂

Has anyone had the payment email from NYMT yet please?

Makes sense. Thank you..!

@OMITN

Please don't worry about prep for this as it was very informal and DD said more about vocal range. As I say they may not do it on every show. I'd just wait and see for more info from Bymt nearer the time. Sorry to have caused any confusion.

Awesome! Thanks. Sadly vocals not her strongest of the three…. Best get practising..!

You're welcome @OMITN- with the self tape this is what they did last year on the show my DDs were on but not sure if they always do it. If I recall it was primarily vocals. Last year my girls were up in Scotland and we were miles away which felt strange but was absolutely fine.

Thanks for the welcomes and info.

Noted on the BYMT self-taking info. That’s a good heads up. Assume it will cover singing/acting/movement?

thanks also for the practical suggestions. DD isn’t much of a school dinners eater, more a packed lunch kid. So we’ll plan ahead for that.

Also Interesting that it isn’t automatic that parents are expected to be too closely on hand - we’re north west England and she’ll be in London (well, Roehampton).

Really appreciate the insights..!

Hi and welcome, my DC did her first BYMT last year. Had the best time, 2 weeks doing what she loved. Not really any advice/tips to be honest as BYMT as just so good and take care of everything once they are there.

You mentioned about setting up a WhatsApp, last year BYMT helped to set one up before the rehearsal weeks and a Facebook page too.

If you have any specific questions let me know.

Hello @OMITN welcome and congrats to your DD! When we strike looks like such a fun show. My DDs did BYMT last year and one has a place this year, but for a different show though I know a couple of the girls they know from last year are doing Strike as well. Last year was my DDs first experience with Bymt and they had a fantastic time. The pastoral care was great and they came away having learnt a lot. Last year the Bymt team set up a couple of zoom calls before hand so the cast could meet virtually and were also asked to self tape some of the material from the show and send it in as they cast the parts in the first couple of days. They also set up a FB group in advance and I'm sure a Snapchat group got going before the production. With Bymt they are there for a full two weeks but there was a chance to visit on the middle weekend though most parents did not in that instance due to the location. We sent our DDs with plenty of snacks which was good as the food was typical school type food and they tired of it understandably. The pastoral team would also take them out to do a Tesco run from time to time to stock up. I'm sure others on the thread with more Bymt experience will have more tips. Rest assured I'm sure your DD will love it.

Apologies for poor writing am having terrible trouble posting from my phone with it constantly freezing and scrolling to the bottom of the thread .

Hello @OMITN and welcome!

I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to your BYMT question - hopefully someone else has more info than me!

Congratulations to your daughter in the meantime!!

Hi @Mumster40 looks from Bymt website like first summer show is All Growed up with production weekend of 2nd August so I assume rehearsals start 20th July based on a 2 week project? I'm sure Bymt would confirm the dates if asked.

Unbound is 3rd August to 18th August

Hi - When We Strike residential is from 18th August, with the shows in 30th and 31st August. Hope that helps and good luck..!

Does anyone know the rehearsal dates for the various BYMT shows? I’m trying to figure out if I have a window to book a holiday as we are on the dreaded waiting list and won’t know more until the end of March…. So I’m looking to find out what the first rehearsal date is for the first production…..! I’d really appreciate any dates people with offers have been given. Thanks so much x
