Ljmk Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hi all, This might have been asked before so apologise in advance, I couldn’t find anything while navigating. How long has anyone waited after sending the screening information to get a response about applying to audition? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ljmk Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thank you. Yes I sent it today and have a response back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadowblythe Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It would be pretty brutal if you got a "no" the same day ... although I did hear of a musician who got his rejection by text on the way out of a UK conservatoire audition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ljmk Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Oh dear not good. Thankfully it wasn’t a no, which is a relief as I won’t have to listen to ‘have you got a reply yet?’ phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers auditioning seem to be comparable to the other schools. The same kids tend to turn up everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on passing screening. I have sent my DD info, but not holding much hope that she will pass screening as only their CBA and BBA past few years and not much experience otherwise (no festivals and competitions). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure she will be fine 🙂 its all about potential at this age, hopefully you will hear back soon. We heard very quickly then it was a couple of weeks for audition info to be sent.

Mummy twinkle toes Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Videos for all years not just yr7. For prelims anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteduvet Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 But places are offered based on the videos, no? Just not funding. Or have I misunderstood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure. I emailed 2 days ago and haven't heard anything. It may not be a good sign...as it looks like people on this thread heard straight away. However it I'd half term so who knows, maybe emails noy being picked up so quickly if people aren't in work. We are still not sure whether to do auditions for ballet schools so if its a no I think we will just do associate auditions instead x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum of unicorn dancer Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I have emailed last week Thursday evening and did not hear too - but I do suspect that she will not pass the screening as she is only Tring CBA and Ballet Boost past 2.5 years and no competitions or festivals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they let us know either way x Don’t worry about festivals or comps or associates my lad hasn’t done comps in 3 years now and nothing like some studios and he never did a ballet he got offered a place at the Hammond for year 8 whilst a lad who we know had spent a few years as a royal JA and didn’t even make the recalls for year 7 last year my lad has never done royal JA’s etc and only got in at the Hammond associates last year after trying the two previous years with a no and then he got offered a full time place, which we still had to turn down due to funding. it’s all about strength a lot of the time I hope you hear back son it’s a very stressful time at the best of times waiting to hear xx Edited October 30, 2020 by WrapsnBows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screening is very much just checking that they haven’t got complete novices rocking up, and that they seem to have the physical attributes they’re looking for.
