It does seem that there are a lot on the waiting list this year, certainly on this forum. 
It’s weird that on my Vimeo plus it still shows that our video hasn’t been watched. All that checking was for nothing! 

Did you get a no/yes/SWL? X 

Does anyone know how many are on the SWL for each centre? X 

My DD got on SWL for Birmingham xx

Ok so here's one for you all.... I'm assumin your children have other auditions too 🤷‍♀️. What if acceptance dates are before you receive results from other auditions? Would it be silly not to accept at the risk of not being offered any others ?? Totally our first time so really nervous xx

Yeah it’s a hard one. Some want acceptance and money before the other results come out. But if the dates don’t clash and it’s ok with money, I would always accept as you don’t want her/him to end up with nothing x

I thought that it was only available to view for those with the link? 
 

I hate waiting too, good luck everyone xx 

It’s true there was the other years last year but also they were grouped together in classes. With the video auditions they have to assess every one separately so it might take even longer. .... or they might watch the videos together on big screens and compare.. never thought of that before it just popped into my head lol X

I tried on the PC but can’t see any ‘last viewed’ detail anyway. Ah well, maybe ignorance is bliss 😂

I’ve just thought mine would just be me viewing it anyway 🤣

I don’t think it tells you on Dropbox 🤷🏼‍♀️

No I think it’s only Vimeo where you can see if it’s been viewed. If I’d have known I’d have used Vimeo for sure 🤣

We’ve applied for Birmingham. I wonder if they are assessing them at each site or altogether?

Its my daughters first ever audition so not actually hopeful but you never know xx

It won’t matter that she hasn’t auditioned before, they’ll look at everyone fresh anyway x

We’ve been contacted to say they could

only see 15mins of the video despite it showing up in my DropBox as the full length class. Doing it via WeTransfer directly to the assistant’s email address seemed to work: haven’t told DD yet about my technical incompetence!! So yes, if there is a technical problem, they get in touch!! 

OMG! So they’re looking at them already  then! So glad they contacted you. 👍🏻

Did the audition video include the stretches that they normally include in the live auditions? If these take place fairly early in the recording that might be a point where they decide whether to keep watching. I imagine that if a child doesn’t fit key criteria, they wouldn’t watch the full half hour of video... 

Fingers crossed for everyone! Hopefully you won’t have to wait too long.

Yes I think if they think the child is what they’re looking for they’ll forward to important bits. If not they may not bother watching anymore. It’s a lot of 40 minute vids to get through if they did watch them all!

Hopefully mid-July? Depends on the approach taken to viewing the videos. Staff will surely be keen to wrap this up and have their summer break. Will they skim through and look for what they need?  It would be interesting to know. Good luck everyone! 

Yes I’m hoping mid July 🤞 I would imagine some videos will get watched all the way through but some will reach the cutting room floor quite quickly. They might just skip through to the important bits. X 

It’s usually late June when we find out, I know they’ve got loads to get through but I can’t imagine they’ll leave it too long as obv people need to get organised with uniforms and stuff. So my bet is that it will be before end of summer term. 🤞 I did hear that they have two classes in year 6 so potentially lots more spaces if this is still what they do. X

I had exactly the same problem as my phone had recorded in some sort of super HD so the file was massive. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long. I used vimeo as somebody mentioned you can see when it's been viewed so I'll keep an eye on that too xx

Ooh ok let us know when it gets viewed! I might have a look to see if that is ok Dropbox too! Xx 

No I didn’t get any acknowledgement which scared me but I think if there’s a problem hopefully they’ll contact you. It took me hours to upload the video to Dropbox! Hopefully we will know before end of term but there’s going to be a lot of videos for them to get through so could be longer. X 

My DD is a reserve x

Can anyone make any sense of the audition process yesterday?

Today’s the day we’ll find out! Good luck.x 

Hi, has anybody heard either way yet? I thought it might be this week but I’m thinking now it’ll be Monday. My DD came out in a group of girls earlier than everyone else so we are expecting a no!

Sorry for your no @Dancermom but she has Elmhusrt which she loves doesn't she?

Yes she loves elmhurst so all good, I’m sure she’ll try again for royal next year and we will all be back here in the same position lol! Xx good luck to your DD 🤞

Just had the email from Birmingham audition, it’s a no for my DD but was expected tbh! Good luck to everyone else! Xx 

Waiting for bham, no email yet 😮😫

Congratulations to all the yeses so far and sorry for the not yets. Hope the rest of the results are out soon.

 

Last year I recall them skipping over the Birmingham results. Results for the 1 day auditions seemed to come out before Birmingham which is 2 days. Having said that Birmingham auditions last year weren't as early as they were this year. 

Yes I think I remember that happening as I was awaiting results and they didn’t come for a while, but who knows this year hey! 

Well done to all the yes’s from Newcastle! And for all the no’s try again next year 😀
