Anyone heard anything yet? Know a few results are coming out but nothing here. We were in Group 1. Xx

My son is currently in Year 4 and in a Year 4/5 mixed class. He is moving to a Year 5/6 boys class in September. Not sure of the other classes.

Last year the boys London results came out on 20th June in the morning. X

Flora11 I hope the wait isn't too bad for you all and really hope you have positive news this year! Fingers crossed for you! Lovely to hear that your son enjoyed himself. X

Mummy2BalletFairies my son was not super flexible when he auditioned last year for RBS. He is not one of the lucky ones who is naturally flexible. With his teachers at home though he does work on stretching, core and strength exercises in his classes. He now stretches every night and does homework exercises from RBS which he also does at home. His flexibility has greatly improved over the year. He has his first assessment at Tring on the 17th so can't comment about flexibility tests in that. My daughter has her audition for Tring on the 10th and they say there is a flexibility test. Again my daughter is not naturally flexible so don't know if this will go against her. I don't think anyone really knows what Royal look for at the auditions so always stay positive. Fingers crossed for you in waiting for the results. X

Hello, My son is a Year 4 RBS JA in London and attends Tring Park CBA. My son loves both programs and lucky to be able to do both. I feel he gets a lot and something different out of each programme and hope he can continue both for Year 5 in September. My little daughter is just as keen, but CBA will be her first audition for anything like this as she is still only 6. She also hopes to audition for RBS Ja's next year when she is old enough. There is a waiting area at Tring, with free tea, coffee, biscuits and Wi-Fi. Not been in the town as always felt comfortable and happy to stay. My son would also like to go down the vocational route in Year 7. He'll continue to work hard and we shall see. X

Thank you! Xx

Hello, I couldn't see one started, so hope it's ok to start a CBA audition 2018 thread. I'm already on the Junior Associates train with my 9 year old son, but now my little 6 year daughter (Nearly 7) wants to give it a try. She loves her ballet just like her brother and is auditioning for CBA this year on 10th June. I always found a thread lovely, helpful and supportive to read when your child is auditioning for these programmes. X

My son is a Year 4 JA in London. He's in a 4/5 mixed class and there is 8 boys and 8 girls. There was 9 boys and 8 girls that started the year. I believe there are 4 year 4 boys and 4 year 4 girls. Hope that gives you an idea of one class intake from last year. But just enjoy the day and the class! Everyone is so friendly and caring. I kept trying to over think everything and nobody really knows what they look for. They take who they like and where they see potential for RBS training. Good Luck everyone. Xxx

My little boy is so excited to start as a Year 4 London Associate! Good luck to all associates starting today. X

Still in shock as my little boy got offered a Year 4 place in London! So excited and proud of him. He's worked so hard! X

No results today? ? Hopefully they will start being sent out again tomorrow. X

We auditioned in London so not expecting anything yet. I believe Newcastle should hear first. Not enjoying the waiting game though! X

My little boy was on Tuesday and followed another group of boys. So there was also boys on Tuesday. Not liking the wait now though. My little boy also enjoyed the experience and wants to try again next year.

Good luck to everyone in London this week! Xx

Good luck to Bath and Totnes this week. Xx

1300!!! That's a lot! I think more than last year which was high. X

Good luck to everyone auditioning in Eastleigh today. X

Good luck to people attending Birmingham and Leeds this week. X

I've also heard they sell merchandise but I've no idea on prices to help I'm afraid. We are auditioning for a year 4 place in London. From reading other threads, year 4 places in london are very few but we're giving it a go. X

Love reading all the posts! Good luck to everyone who is auditioning next week! Xx

My DS is only 8 and auditioning for a year 4 place. Like you, we have never done anything like this before. We are just going to enjoy the day and the experience. We are on Tuesday. X

As the RBS Junior Associates Auditions start next week for 2017 entry, I hope it is ok to start a thread for parents and children and for questions and support. I have a child auditioning in London. X

We are not in Manchester but I have a little boy auditioning in London. We are still waiting for our date and time. Just wanted to say Good Luck to your little boy and hope he enjoys the experience. X

Thank you all for your comments. We will go with the 'just enjoy the experience' attitude and enjoy the day. Anything else is a bonus.
