Aww was this the niece who was recalled for tuck? I think she was a similar age to my dd. If they are both the same type of workshop I imagine you could ask to swap?

LB and crescendo. I’m trying not to read too much into the silence…

Oh I’d definitely read into the silence!!! Sounds very hopeful! Lots of luck!

@ZooKeeper123 my niece is at university and I think you have a much younger person? X

Yes, the courses and worshops seem to be out and it looks like we are leading up to shows! Remind me, how old is your DC?

Everything crossed for you :)

Dd just got an offer of Crescendo! She is going to be over the moon. As others have said she (and I) were so impressed by the auditions- how lovely everyone was. She absolutely loved both days.

You know that song from Shrek, where Fiona is singing about the waiting, The Waiting, THE WAAAAAAAIIIITTTTIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGG!

That.

Pass the chocolate fingers.

Skills workshop for my DD (16) - first timer so pleased to get this! Booked on the Canterbury residential course in August so would be good to know of anyone else who has a child involved in this one.

allhailthebrain · 21/02/2025 16:35

Ah well done to her! A real achievement in her first year - hope she has a fab time!

Same one as my dd - but mine is 13 x

This is unbearable. I’ve eaten nearly a whole bag of minstrels. DD got an offer for a one year drama course this morning, it seems too much to hope for a double. She was up for Carousel and her male friend’s just been offered ensemble. Does that mean they are on Carousel now? This is her third year, nothing at all the first year and a one week non-res last year.

Lionelblair · 21/02/2025 16:42

Lightning Boy for DS. He’s out at the moment so I’m utterly bursting with excitement. This is such a tough process, all DC are incredible just getting through it. Every step counts…

HanD31 · 21/02/2025 16:44

Still waiting!

Was she on Monday or Tuesday? DD went Tuesday so end of the recalls….

And we have a Tuck offer! Hurrah!

Congratulations to everyone with offers and hoping that there’s not too much disappointment over courses etc. Fame offer here!
