tutoo2much Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Contact all them all and explain your dilemma. Maybe one of them can be a bit flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Is Hammond an audition, or an Associate class? And is it possible to miss one Oliver rehearsal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w445403 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Contact all them all and explain your dilemma. Maybe one of them can be a bit flexible. Is Hammond an audition, or an Associate class? And is it possible to miss one Oliver rehearsal? The CAT audtion is all timetabled with interviews etc and Hammond is an Associate class so not too bad to miss one. Oliver isn't unitl October so there's plenty of time to catch up. Realistically we should go to the CAT second audtion as that has the most potential for DS's dancing. I think I've answered my own question 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yes, I'd go to the CAT audition too. :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin64 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Is the Oliver rehearsal for a professional show? It is usually a no no to miss any rehearsals so I would be sure to seriously ok this with the show team. You might be able to have your CAT interview at an earlier time and shoot off to make the rehearsal. I think the CAT panel would be pleased with your DS commitment to a project. Just a thought? That said, if your DS isn't needed too much for that rehearsal they may be flexible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lildancer96 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm sure if you give the cat team a call and explain they will reschedule - they are really helpful. Lil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 A girl from dd's dance school was able to reschedule her Birmingham cat 2nd audition because it clashed with a performance. She got in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w445403 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 In the end there is no decison to be made! DS just home after surgery to remove his appendix - two weeks off school, six weeks of no physical activites but, after negotiation, agreement that he might be able to do some barre work after 4 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amum/Cathy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Aaarghhh!! So sorry to hear that. Will he be fit for EYB do you think? I guess we won't be seeing you at Hammond Associates in June anyway.

glowlight Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 If I was you I would get in touch with the CAT and explain why he cannot go to the second audition to see if they can see him later. Maybe join in class in a couple of months time? They may even be prepared to consider him on the basis of his first audition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Oh that's a shame. It's possible you just got through to an admin person who is more used to people withdrawing through choice. I would follow up with an email explaining how disappointed your son is and ask if there is any other way he can be considered as this was clearly beyond your control. whether he could attend at a later date, even just join in with a class one day or perhaps send a DVD of his dancing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Gosh, yes, I wouldn't leave it at that. It would definitely be worth another phone call or email to the Head of the CAT scheme to explain that actually you don't just want your DS taken off the list, and asking what the possibilities are for auditioning at a later date? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I agree with the above - I think having your appendix out consitutes special consideration!! Don't leave it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
