Haven’t heard anything yet obviously my d is very upset . Would of much less disappointing if had a no from the onset . I’m sure they will get back to you - let us know what they say.... So far their communication with us has been very good - we even get regular follow up emails from the last event which was years ago - so I’m sad to hear that your DD has been let down in this way - there must be a mistake somewhere along the line and I do hope it’s resolved quickly x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D s said he can’t remeber what they asked him! “Just random questions !” Hi. My DD was just asked about availability for additional dates mentioned during the workshop. Whilst it could be described as an interview my DD referred to the conversation as more of a chat and that it was very brief. Relaxed. Possibly why you DS says he can’t remember as it was after a very long day. Certainly no indication of how long they would have to wait for an outcome of the audition. Which was a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 DS seemed to think it would be ages before we hear anything ....

I think we will be doing the same. We are down to final 3 GCSE’s. Grade 8 tomorrow and Intermediate Saturday. Prom, Prize Giving ..... it’s never ending and that’s not incl my son. Yikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandsfoot Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It as a no for my daughter too. She was not surprised as she felt they didn’t really look at her on the day so perhaps just not right for this project. Looking forward to finding out what they are actually doing!

It was also a no for my daughter yesterday. Who wasn’t surprised as she had said on the day she was by far the youngest auditioning. Loved the day and embraced the experience and skills learnt especially as we were well outside of location and appreciated the opportunity to even reach the finals. Will keep an eye out for the production and maybe take the opportunity to buy some tickets at one of the many venues. 🙆♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyelliott Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Very pleased to report that the MB/NA company have been able to be flexible and are rearranging the July intensive dates in Birmingham so that they no longer conflict with Elmhurst’s summer show! Huge relief for my DS - now it’s full steam ahead to book hotels and leave etc! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it with them? ARe they totally incompetent (don't answer that one, you know them as well as I do) They don't need a licence after the last Friday in June of Year 11 (so some kids won't even be 16). This is the legal definition of compulsory school age in Engladn & Wales (not Scotland) and the legislation clearly refers to compulsory school age. However anyone who turns 16 in that year definately needs a performance licence up to that day. The NIECC would be interested in this I bet. You are absolutely right. As one who has completed both exemption and full licences for children the info from your LEA is wrong. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I notice that the casting for this has just been announced. There are several young people that dd knows who are either current or past members of her school who have been cast including one who was in her year at lower school and one who is in her year now. Huge congratulations to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
