Starting a new thread as we filled up the old one!

DC 17 is in 6th season with NYMT. Also former BYMTer.

These annual threads have been a source of advice, emotional support and camaraderie for those of us with young performers enjoying everything that these awesome organisations bring.

Thanks @MxPickles @Coniger I received the automated email saying that I'd accepted the role. It was the one with the link to the online shop....! Is that the same as everyone else? I was only worrying as it said the deposit was due by the 28th.....

Yes exactly the same general email, but have also had a very brief exchange with Chris as had asked a question that he kindly reponsded to.

Just to update others who were unable to book skills courses, and also those NYMT-experienced parents who were so kind and reassuring, that I have heard back from Chris (still working at 8pm tonight!) that they have put another non-residential (London) skills course online, and will be putting a further residential course online in the next few weeks. He mentioned a priority list, so I am guessing that as was previously suggested, they will try to do their best to find places on skills courses for those who were recalled, but not cast in a production or new musical workshop. For what it's worth, it was always clear to me that a skills course was a possible (and actually quite probable for my daughter, given she is a 14 year old first-timer) outcome to the recalls. I'm just really proud of her for putting herself out there and getting as far as she did - she learnt loads from the audition days and met some lovely, talented people. I know that learning to deal with disappointment is an essential part of all this. Definitely worth rechecking your links if you are still wanting to book a skills course, and good luck. My daughter is really looking forward to hers :)

Hi is anyone doing BYMT in Birmingham in April?

allhailthebrain · 25/02/2025 01:08

I don't think any invoices have gone out yet, don't worry. We just had the auto reply - no need to worry, promise! I suspect they'll send them all when the full casts are confirmed for each show.

EweCee · 25/02/2025 07:01

Morning all, similar to what @betswina said, Chris emailed us last night (so approachable and communicative!) and said that there was another invite only non- residential for 25 selected people that they'd opened in London and another residential coming. He said it was invite only for those recalled but didn't get cast/ workshop specific to skills those individuals need to progress their journey at this time. We have booked on to this additional non residential and our (12yo first timer) DC is very excited! So do re-check the link you were sent if you couldn't get a skills course before they booked up.

Does anyone know what sort of time they want DC for the first week of training in the summer. Fame is starting 26th and before the 2 days off? Thank you ☺️

Comefromaway · 25/02/2025 12:56

In the past arrival time has been 11.00am on the first day.

Truetoself · 25/02/2025 14:33

LibbyRuncie · 25/02/2025 14:34

Do the older teens wear the t shirts and are they more likely to all wear black?

My 19 year old still wears his NYMT T shirts after 9 years of NYMT (!) and if one wears out he always wants another one! He HATES anything like show hoodies or anything he thinks could be seen as showing off but he does like to have an NYMT T shirt to wear at rehearsals etc. Black is always a safe choice.

Lionelblair · 25/02/2025 15:32

Another very happy T-shirt customer here. Black was definitely the right choice for DS.

LibbyRuncie · 25/02/2025 15:34

My DD still loves her Cat B hoodie now! She has a blue t-shirt for one of the days at residentials!

Truetoself · 25/02/2025 22:32

Invoices came through

allhailthebrain · 26/02/2025 02:33

Invoices arrived Tuesday night for us too :)

Ugh... but the kid already has two t shirts plus 3 show hoodies (and no doubt a 4th in my near future)... I love all the new stuff but I have absolutely no good reason to purchase 😫😂

Mumster40 · 26/02/2025 06:58

Mmmmm. No invoice here. Are you shows or workshops? Workshop here. I’ll wait until lunchtime and drop an email.

We are advanced workshop and I don’t have an invoice yet!

LibbyRuncie · 26/02/2025 07:15

invoices through here for Tuck!

Truetoself · 26/02/2025 08:24

Shows

MxPickles · 26/02/2025 08:36

No Invoice yet (Easter New Musical)

seventwelve25 · 26/02/2025 09:39

We don't have one either and are new musical workshop. They must have done the shows first!

Biscuitsneeded · 26/02/2025 10:04

Hi all. Don't panic. They won't throw you out of a course, show or workshop without checking first. I'm sure the invoices are coming!

Do you think they fill from the top down and then offer the places that haven’t been taken up further down the list if needs be?! Or is that not a thing and I’m wishful thinking 😂

Show quote history

Do you mean for shows? I think it's unlikely many people will decline places in shows, and if they do, the creative team will discuss who to approach in their place according to suitability rather than just looking at the next person on the list. Ditto for workshops. But a few individuals might get good news as people accept or decline.
