RachH Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 We really don’t expect my little one to get a JA place btw, but you can’t help hoping! She starts London Junior Ballet associates on the 27th Sept so that should soften the blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdc34 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hi RachH, thanks for keeping me company😆 I am exactly the same, we got a no last year so I’m expecting the inevitable but it would be nice to just know and stop the mad email refreshing!! That’s lovely that your dd has LJB, I hope she has a brilliant time. X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamcat Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Good to know group 3 emails are out, we are waiting for group 4 so I guess it will be a couple more weeks for us and then a very long wait for results. @PurplePirouette we also got a no last year so thinking the same but you never know! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletbuds80 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 We are Group 2 and our deadline was on Monday so each day I am hoping to see our video has been viewed. Mostly so we know I have uploaded them correctly. It’s nice to know that in the next 27 days we will have a decision either way. We are Leeds Year 4 so it’s the first time our DD has auditioned for RBS JA. We had fun making the videos but we had quite a few technical glitches along the way and a rather embarrassing 20 seconds of a view of my nostrils whilst I logged back into my laptop and a few obscenity’s under my breath but hopefully they will look past my incompetence and see some potential in my daughter. 😂🩰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdc34 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 @Spamcat, I remember your name from the 2019 JA feed (which I have been looking at over the past couple of days😆) I have been reading Charlie & the Chocolate Factory with my son and this quote from the book springs to mind in this situation... “However small the chance might be of striking lucky, the chance was there.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamcat Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 @PurplePirouette and I said I wouldn't come back on here and drive myself crazy this year, but here I am! 🙈 @Balletbuds80 that is so funny! 😂 Good luck to both of you. Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra84 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 We are waiting for group 1 results too. I wonder if they just watch the video once? or do they watch it more than once? How many people normally audition? haha so many questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millicent Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If the group 2 deadline was Monday I would have thought they might have already made their decisions about group 1 otherwise surely it would be difficult to be reviewing group 1 and looking at group 2 at the same time? Unless they have different people doing a first round view and cut, and then the "bigwigs" look at those on the short list. I'm trying not to think about it too much as you could drive yourself mad with all the what ifs. It's our first audition though so all very new to this!

How many people normally audition? Depending on which platform you uploaded the video onto, you may be able to see if it’s been viewed and more detailed analytics on it. YouTube allows you to do this on their website or the YouTube studio app. As for numbers, they used to publish a breakdown of applications but it’s not as detailed on the most recent 2019 report. The two previous years though it was 1230 in 2018 and 1300 in 2019 (figures taken from their annual reports). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your answer! yes, my daughters video has already been seen, just wondering if they view it again later to decide or if they just view it once and make the decision there and then. Interesting about the numbers, I thought it was more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they even whittle it down? I would love watching all the videos as love ballet myself but after so many videos, it must get a little laborious!

If you click on each video, your number count goes up. I have got all three at the same number of views by clicking into them myself so I know now, when that number changes, it will have been viewed by them as they are the only ones with access to it via link (as long as I dont click on the videos again). There is the YouTube analytics app which shows you also). There is also something about subscribers. I think that will change once viewed by someone other than myself? Although that is only my guess 👍🏻 Edited September 18, 2020 by Balletbuds80 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballet_mum3 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I will take a look at the app. Its a tense wait. I had my 3 year old run in screaming half way throught the second video and me quickly scooping her up in my pjs! 😳 DD kept her cool though, Im sure whoever watches it will have a chuckle!

Missdancemum Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If you are using youtube you can click on your image and select youtube studio and for further information click on analytics. You can then see each video and when it was viewed etc without adding to the view count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Out of interest, has anyone found that their videos have been watched more than once? I used OneDrive so no analytics available for that (probably a good thing as I have a tendency to overthink!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletbuds80 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Good luck to all the Group 1’s. It’s so close. Exciting and nerve wracking. Have any Of the Group 2’s been watched yet? Ours hasn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'm surprised they only seem to be watching the videos once. It suggests that they must come to their decisions pretty much instantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancecrazy1 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) i managed to look at youtube studio and it looked as if my daughters videos had been watched on saturday 15th August and the 2nd and 3rd again on Sunday 16th? i could be wrong as never looked into the analysis of videos before but it also seemed as if theyd watched ket moments in each video as these had higher watch percentages! How long did the older group wait before the emails came out? will we get an email either way? or if we don't hear then we're out?

Millicent Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 That's interesting. Someone said that it took 19 days for them to decide for Y6. It's now been 21 days for group 1. We will get an email whether it is a yes or a no. I don't think we get individual feedback though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
