Morning! I told myself I’d forget about it but alas, I cannot 😆
I have a quite a few brides I’m holding off on for cakes in August so hope we find out by the end of next week. 😬

Just checking in to see if anyone had heard anymore, but doesn’t seem to have. My ds has been offered a musician place with BYMT in Cabaret Macabre. He will be outnumbered by the sounds of it as it’s an all female cast Smile.
Awaiting the outcome from NYMT also, but heard nothing as of yet.

lolacharlie43 · 21/04/2021 11:32

Nothing from NYMT here but in previous years we have usually heard late on the Wed or Thursday after final audition. Fingers crossed it will be the same this year and we all know tomorrow! I have been trying to busy myself about the house to stop from checking emails every 5 minutes but proving to be very difficult

Still waiting on NYMT musician

Pinkstargazer12 · 21/04/2021 13:15

My daughter’s video was viewed this morning no idea whether that was the first viewing .... The wait goes on!

doesanybodyhaveamap · 21/04/2021 13:55

@Comefromaway did you submit on YouTube? do you know if DS's video has been viewed? DD's was viewed immediately after submission, then once on 28th Feb and 3 times on 20th March but nothing since... Confused

OP posts:
Comefromaway · 21/04/2021 14:00

It has definitely been viewed but I can't remember how many times I viewed it after submission thus adding to the number.

Comefromaway · 21/04/2021 14:03

There is an obvious wrong chord in there which we hadnt realised!

allhailthebrain · 21/04/2021 16:03

Our tape was viewed 3 times before the recall then another 3 times on the day of the recall - but not since...

Janet25 · 21/04/2021 16:27

My ds musician video had 2 further views on Sunday.

Triflefan · 21/04/2021 17:43

I’m going to suggest DS uses YouTube in future. Although maybe knowing how many views he’s had might be more stressful?

I really don’t think we’ll hear anything until Friday at the earliest. Obviously that’s just a guess.

He has his first face to face LAMDA in over a year later on. He’s so excited to not be zooming!

allhailthebrain · 21/04/2021 18:25

@Triflefan it's so lovely for them to get back to the things they love face to face isn't it! Mine had his first stage school session face to face on Sunday, albeit in bubbles for now, and dancing on Monday - still some things online but the tide is turning...

(Please please let it stay turned!)

doesanybodyhaveamap · 21/04/2021 18:59

Yes, DD had an email about face to face chamber music rehearsals starting next week too. So wonderful!!!

OP posts:
Comefromaway · 21/04/2021 19:10

Ds has had face to face music at college but yesterday was his singing group, he’s currently in his singing lesson (I’m in the car waiting) & tomorrow he has a face to face piano lesson!

Triflefan · 21/04/2021 21:14

I have no idea how to quote. Doesn’t seem to be active when I try

It’s so good for them all to have that proper interaction.
I don’t ever want another lockdown!!
DS has had some dance at college recently and singing too which was banned for most of the academic year! but, the idea of going back to his old school tonight seemed to really lift him.
Somehow he managed to take his exam during the short period of relative normality last year which was quite fortunate really.

Lonecatwithkitten · 21/04/2021 21:39

DD is very excited she heads into her first close contact performance bubble next week at college. She has been lucky dance has been going on since September as has individual singing, though ensemble singing only started when they went back in person.
It has been a very hard year for people who live to perform.

Yr10mom · 21/04/2021 21:46

Dd had orchestra sectionals and chamber on Saturday - so happy

Musicdoc · 21/04/2021 22:10

Hi, glad to find this thread!
My son (15yo) had a musician NYMT place last year. This year sent a video off but we're still to hear.
BYMT have offered him a place though doing Cabaret Macabre, so @janet25 he'll be joining your son with a female only acting cast.
Hope the rest of you still waiting hear soon Smile

Janet25 · 21/04/2021 22:33

@Musicdoc my son (16) will be glad to hear of some more male company Grin what does he play?
We’re in the same situation with waiting to hear back from NYMT also

Musicdoc · 21/04/2021 22:43

@Janet25 sorry, mine is also 16 (!), he's a cellist.

allhailthebrain · 21/04/2021 23:41

Hi @Musicdoc welcome to the waiting room - I'm quite new too!

Fingers crossed you get NYMT news soon, but great work on the BYMT musician place for your son!
