Picturesinthefirelight Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Try emailing as the staff have been in this week & can access emails outside of school From memory (it was 2 years ago when dd did summer school they need to take bedding (duvet, pillow & bottom sheet) towel, personal wash stuff. Enough leotards & tights to last a week including one black leotard. Most also take black footless tights for jazz/contemporary & jazz trousers/sports joggers for street. Depending on age she may like to take crop over top or similar for street. Swimming costume & enough money for a snack (think they have a swimming trip one evening) And ballet shoes of course.

Leanne Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well my dd had a brilliant time at the summer school. I noticed a real difference in her confidence. Don't think she slept more than six hours a night as she was too busy having fun. The show at the end of the week was great and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the different styles. The downside is that now she knows what she is missing and she came back with a scouse accent 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind - could be worse / she could have come back with a Stoke accent from Mr F ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leanne Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Ha ha I know I shouldn't dislike the accent but I've had a bad experience with a scouser. Loved it until then. I'm not sure who was teaching she was far more influenced by the girl in her dorm. She is going to reapply for year 8 in the Hammond with a hope of getting the funding. Thanks everyone for the comments I will keep posting as your added to my favourites ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 If you don't like the accent, move over plenty of other people do lol glad she enjoyed her experience. My daughter now has a rich accent from all over. Northerners say she sounds South, southerners say she is from somewhere around the North. I just love the fact that she has mixed with friends from all around our country and around the world. I am also glad and PROUD of her very slight Scouse accent. If your daughter does end up going to the Hammond bit of advice don't tell scouser a you don't like their accent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primrose Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Being a military family my children have moved around quite a bit and have very English accents. My husband who is a senior officer in the RAF and myself are scousers and speak with the accent. We are proud to be Liverpudlians and would not have minded our children speaking with an accent. Word of warning, us scousers stick together. The Hammond is a lovely school. My daughter attended there for a couple of years before moving to another vocational school closer to home. Good luck with the funding audition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Dd has picked up bits of Scouse but our accent (stoke) has a lot of similar vowels eg look & book not luk & buk. Before she went to hammond she did an MT role set in Liverpool so spent some time trying to pick up the accent from fellow cast members who were from the Liverpool area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
