NYMT/BYMT 2024!

Seeing as NYMT have announced their shows, it feels like a good time to start a thread for anyone with DC planning on auditioning for 2024 for either NYMT or BYMT - as performers or musicians, or as assistant creatives. Please come and say hi and tell us a bit about your DC. There are lots of experienced parents of DC who have been part of both organisations, and these threads are always genuinely supportive and helpful.
I'll invite some previous thread participants below - please come and say hi!

@Biscuitsneeded it was her first time auditioning- she’s 12. So all new to her. She knows it’s unlikely she will get cast but is enjoying the process so far so all good! 😊 she said they told her at audition if you don’t get cast in a show you can choose to do a workshop- but I can’t find the info on the website- do you know if these are in the Easter or summer holidays? - Thankyou!

@Biscuitsneeded i have a happy daughter - invited to the casting weekend for catastrophe bay 😊 I don’t know how we will manage the wait to hear news after the casting weekend! Hope it’s been good news for others waiting. 🤞

Brilliant news! Big well done to your DD. Is this her first time auditioning, or is she an old hand? You can relax for a few weeks now until recalls loom!

Thanks @Biscuitsneeded she really enjoyed it thanks, I did wonder if she had slipped through the net so it’s good to hear no-one has heard anything yet!

Welcome.@NCMO2G . Hope your DD enjoyed her audition. Don't worry, nobody seems to have any news from last weekend yet so your DD hasn't been missed out. I reckon news will come this weekend. Good luck to everyone waiting!

Is anyone pacing the waiting room currently while a DC waits for news from the weekend?

Yes, just saw that @wonderfullife123 - thank you!

@yodaforpresident just had info through for Sunday and no specific note on song length, just a request to tape sheet music to make easier for the pianist.

@yodaforpresident that sounds sensible. They're very reasonable people!

I think she is going to offer to only sing so far on the day.
