Just as things were going well my daughter’s class has been put into 10 days isolation. 2 weeks before their grad showcase was due to take place.

minimits · 09/06/2021 15:27

Oh no! DS’s end of year show is also on hold due to cast having to isolate. Not good times…

Mcmumager · 09/06/2021 15:39

Oh gosh sorry to hear that for your children and classmates @Comefromaway and @minimits. This blooming virus is still causing havoc Angry

@Comefromaway

Just as things were going well my daughter’s class has been put into 10 days isolation. 2 weeks before their grad showcase was due to take place.
I am so sorry. I am really fearful for the upper sixth and foundation showcase at DD's college as they are in a surge area so everyone is having to have a PCR at the moment.
Mcmumager · 10/06/2021 16:27

BYMT results are coming out.

feelinhopeful · 10/06/2021 17:22

@Mcmumager back to constantly refreshing my emails! The wait is excruciating.

Mcmumager · 10/06/2021 17:23

My ds has been offered a place on Peter Pan and my dd a reserve spot. Lots to think about and waiting game isn’t over lol.

Mcmumager · 10/06/2021 17:24

@feelinhopeful good luck!!

feelinhopeful · 10/06/2021 17:51

@Mcmumager congratulations to your ds! From what I have heard in previous years most reserves have been offered a place but hard for your dd to still have to wait.

Jojoscircus · 10/06/2021 17:53

@feelinhopeful good luck, I hope you hear soon. @Mcmumager congratulations to your ds and I hope they let the reserve list know soon 🤞🏻. My son has been offered a place on ‘the night the war ended’. We now have to work out the logistics of it all- I’m not sure it could be much further from where we live.

feelinhopeful · 10/06/2021 17:56

@Jojoscircus congratulations to your ds I hope you can work out the logistics!

Mcmumager · 10/06/2021 18:02

@Jojoscircus congratulations to your son- i think it’s a far away location that one for anyone! I hope you can make it work. Ours is also pretty far away! Not sure if any accommodation would be free for things either this year lol.

DalekFan · 10/06/2021 18:06

Congratulations to your DSs @Mcmumager and @Jojoscircus. Great news! Hope you hear soon @feelinhopeful. @Alakazam8 any news for your DD? 🤞🤞

Alakazam8 · 10/06/2021 18:25

It’s a no for dd unfortunately for this year but they recommended that she do a summer school but think it was a general no email. She had a much more personalised response from Nymt and other contact since from them so would hope that there would be something with them in the future!

Mcmumager · 10/06/2021 18:36

@Alakazam8 sorry to hear that. I hope she isn’t too disappointed. It’s tough especially after all the waiting.

feelinhopeful · 10/06/2021 19:07

@Alakazam8 I'm sorry to hear that. We also had a no from NYMT earlier in the year. My dd preferred the audition with BYMT so if we get the expected no she'll do a summer camp with them.

I feel like princess Fiona with all the waiting!

DalekFan · 10/06/2021 19:25

Ah sorry to hear that @Alakazam8. Hope your DD is OK. Will she do a summer camp?

Biscuitsneeded · 10/06/2021 19:30

Congratulations @Mcmumager and @Jojoscircus to both your DSes. Great news. I hope you can find a way to make it work. Also hope all the reserves who have waited so patiently will get news one way or the other very soon.

Lonecatwithkitten · 10/06/2021 20:24

@Mcmumager

My ds has been offered a place on Peter Pan and my dd a reserve spot. Lots to think about and waiting game isn’t over lol.
Mcmumager the other cast members of Peter Pan have both an Instagram and Snap chat group getting to know each other. If you join the Facebook group (private) there is a post there that will help him get in contact with the others. No decisions were made on the workshop and none will be made until two days into the summer.
Mcmumager · 10/06/2021 22:23

Thanks you @Lonecatwithkitten @DalekFan mentioned that too- sounds great! Just thinking of all the logistics of making it happen- at the moment all looking good!

Mcmumager · 11/06/2021 17:15

So place accepted in Peter Pan for my ds- he is really excited and I’m looking forward to my extra holiday to Devon Smile.

How many of us are also in the reserves waiting room. My dd age 13 is there.

DalekFan · 11/06/2021 17:46

Yay! Great news @Mcmumager

dinosaurinmybelly · 11/06/2021 17:50

Hello - just checked the details on Nightshade and it will no longer be in Plymouth. Has moved to London. Did anyone get an update about that? Wondering if I missed an email.

Alakazam8 · 12/06/2021 08:40

Thanks for the kind messages. Dd wasn’t too disappointed. We won’t do a summer school this year but she will be doing a very good local one at a renowned school/college. She has also been offered a lot of recording sessions in a studio locally over the summer hols. We will audition next year again, particularly with NYMT who seemed much more open to dd’s additional needs. Luckily she enjoyed the audition process and hopefully will enjoy future auditions. We will look at summer schools as she gets a bit older, maybe in 2 years or so. Luckily we are at the very youngest end of the age group really!

Biscuitsneeded · 12/06/2021 10:53

Alakazam glad your DD is OK. I'm sure it's worth another go next year for all these things.

Can I stick my head above the parapet and ask whether you all really think all of these shows will be able to happen? I veer between optimism and defeatism on a daily basis. I so, so hope they can, but DS and I both know he can't count on it.
