MrsMoo2 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Just wanted to say that I have had some great feedback from Hammond, has really given DS areas to work on to maybe retry next year. He was closer than I thought he was, scoring high on physique, flexibility, and proportion but was let down on technique and the ability to look at the audience! (Things we can work on) Surprisingly his solo, which was cobbled together by him and his sister was well received. If only all places gave such good feedback eh??? Asked him to join associates class in May to see if he can keep up. If he can, he can do that for 12 months. Keep him busy!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMoo2 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Had to laugh at his determination, when I told him, he just said, “Well I’ll just try again next year and the year after that and the year after that and the year after that...” 😆😆😆😆😆 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 With an attitude like that, he really deserves to get in, Mrs Moo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll on next year! X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird22 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Two of mine got in to Hammond associates from the regular audition and another two got in from the associate trial class. I’ve now got 7 Hammond associates and feedback is always positive from the kids. The multi genre timetable is brilliant and quite unique. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutugirl Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Surely some results must come tomorrow ? Elmhurst ? Hammond ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 My educated guess is that Hammond Lower School will be posted tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside H Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 New to the forum and new to auditioning we have only applied for Hammond as dd is an associate and it was suggested she try. She has been offered a place at Hammond for year 7 but now waiting funding results. Does anyone know how many MDS and what are the options if no offer off MDS?

I agree - I think this has been the pattern for several years. Posted on the last day before Easter hols. When Dd was waiting in yr 7, the last day of term was Maundy Thursday, so no post on Good Friday. I dreaded the results not arriving on Easter Saturday as that would mean a wait until Tuesday. Fortunately they came and were the start of a massive part of our lives! Good luck to all waiting - go stalk the postie tomorrow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 We have our upper school results from Tring. I think most of the current students already know. Perhaps they let them know first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes she definately remembers you! She talks fondly of her week at your summer school. Looking back I can hardly believe she is the same child as that little, inexperienced but oh so enthusiastic 11 year old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlexyNexy Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 My DD had YES letter from Tring for upper school back in February...but they can not offer board (bed) or funding audition for her ....i wonder what was the point of even sending the offer to her?

Most of the schools have more places than funding and if someone was in the lucky position of being able to self fund living in outside accommodation can work out considerably cheaper than boarding in house. Hammond have no boarding accommodation for Upper School (actually I tell a lie since they bought a new boarding house they now have a very very limited handful of places) so pretty much all their students live with a landlady in the first two years then in student houses once they are 18.

We have a lot of thinking to do. She’s hoping to go to America but waiting to see how funding there works and if she can go at 16 (or if she should stay where she is for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
