Frangapani Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 So sorry everyone! For got to add very best wishes to all those who auditioned yesterday and for Tuesday also. Good luck for the letters! NL I know! It was bonkers!!! They seemed to be auditioning for all year groups on Friday - and boys too of course - but there were a huge number in each class - just don't know how they choose who to take to finals?? Just the wait now - shouldn't be too long - unlike RBS!!! F x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frangapani Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Does anyone know if they wait for the results of Tuesdays audition before sending out letters from the Friday lot? I had a feeling they just send the letters out anyway, but does anyone know any different? F x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankruptMum Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 They dont usually wait for furture sessions before sending results out unless they havent had time to finalise their thoughts. Best of luck to those waiting xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It took exactly 10 days for us to recieve our letter for finals. For 6th form auditions there was only about 20 children in each class, i think that there were two groups that day. I know that there were a lot of children in your groups but don't forget they video tape the class. Good luck everyone x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just a thought - my son tells me Desmond wasn't in school on Friday, so that may just slow down the letters a little - I know it's only a day, but as there's another audition so close it might have to wait until after that. It's great that so many people are auditioning - the school has gone from strength to strength over the last 4 years particularly. Although it seems daunting wondering how they choose from all those students, I think this is almost the easiest bit for them in that they'll have certain criteria they're looking for and some just won't "fit" at this stage - for a whole host of reasons. I have a feeling the most difficult part for the panel is when they've called back all those who initially seem to tick all the right boxes and then they have to decide between them. Good luck to everyone for Tuesday (and those waiting to hear) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip Your dd is the only person I have heard making finals so far - does anyone know others? Do the current year 11 audition with everyone else or is that dealt with separately ? I think they said there were about 20 places in 6th form but there must be at least 15 in year 11 already ? ? Lil x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybeans Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Does anyone have any more information about yr 10 places? I thought that they were full and decided not to audition but that cannot be the case if someone has an invitation to the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Parent Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I was there with my DD on Friday 13th. Really enjoyed the day, however very busy and a big audition class. We were in group 2, my DD auditioning for Yr 9 place and there was about 8 other Yr 9's in the group (plus Yr 10s, couple of Yr 11s and boys group too). Really great to meet Frangapani, Gingerbread and Miracle! It was also great to see Robert Parker on the audition panel. Keeping all body parts that can be crossed, crossed!

Lil x I dont know if the Year 11 audition with everyone else or not but I dont think so. There is no expectation in Y11 that you will gain a sixth form place and the students all audition at other schools as well. Last year only a few Year 11's were taken through to sixth form, some choose to go down a more academic route, instead, some went to ENB and to other sixth forms. Good luck with the auditions.

Dadadance Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 2 years ago the year 11's had to audition along with everyone else. In effect they auditioned 3 times, 1st audition, apprasial then finals. For some reason the 6th form never seems to get the numbers the lower school has. There are only 4/5 boys in graduate year and only 8 in 2nd year I think it was only 1 boy from year 11 who decided to stay on last year. Shouldn't complain nice small classes compared to lower school. Beds play a part as Lyndhurst has only got so many. Can't remember how many though.

Danceemum Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Can you remember, Dadadance, if they all got finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's true that there are only 5 boys in graduate year, but there were only 5 of them in that year at Lower School too (and not all the same 5) (and in fact, their year at WL was relatively small too compared to some). I seem to remember that one of them didn't do the final audition because he was moving in more of a musical theatre direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimi'smom Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Charlie was going to message you to see how your dd was feeling today - glad she made it and enjoyed it! Elmhurst is a fantastic place and the staff are really lovely -I was very impressed with them all and feel very priviledged that my DD gets to go there on a weekly basis. Wasn't it lovely to see the last few minutes of the class too! I hope we do get to meet up soon - with our own special balletco handshake!! Did your DD wear her Elmhurst leo? Mine decided not to - she was on the second row on the end, tall, with a burgundy leo and white belt. She'll be wearing that to her other auditions (Royal @ Bham and Hammond) so if you're there you may recognise her (and therefore me!) Good luck for that dreaded wait!
