BalletBoyMumma Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Or did you mean Feb? (I just got my hopes up we’d be put out of our misery of waiting soon 😅 ...28th Feb feels so long away!!!! 😳) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t apply for Elmhurst so aren’t in the loop, trying to forget about it (way easier said than done) but our WL video still hadn’t had anymore views, just that initial one of a few minutes a couple of days after submission. Has everyone else’s been viewed now? 28thFeb. WL said we would hear by end of Feb. We haven’t had anymore views since the one back in November after we sent it in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your’e right it did say mid Feb on confirmation but they’ve now extended the stress!!!! That email was before they sent a further email containing proposed final dates. The Y7 boys finals dates are currently the 11th and 12th of March, so we were going with the thinking that perhaps we would hear by 11th/12th February to give us at least four weeks to arrange travel, accommodation for those of us a way away etc. But now with lockdown extended etc it’s whether those audition dates will go ahead or not! I think in the current climate they will definitely give more than two weeks to arrange transportation. But it depends if they’re now planning to push those auditions back again, and of course that will all depend on whether schools do end up reopening on the 8th of March or not! So much to think about! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much uncertainty. That's an interesting idea - but what if you test positive and can't come? (which obviously you shouldn't!). I hope if they ask for test results they'll have an alternative for kids who have to self-isolate. Does anyone from previous years have experience of being ill on final auditions day but being given another opportunity to audition? Realise I'm seriously over thinking this, having not even heard if we've made finals! 😂 Edited January 30, 2021 by TwirlyWhirly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is tight for some people at the moment with furlough etc. I agree I hope they also have other arrangements for those self isolating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is us too at the moment, still working but on quite a reduced income. I think the circumstances of this year are really going to push a lot of families out. Just too many unknowns. Thankfully for us DS hasn’t asked about it at all. Lately he’s been talking about joining his big sister at our local secondary school - I’m actually really relieved his mind is there as he’s really struggled with dancing at home, especially dancing alone. So many added pressures for everyone this year. RBS have been pretty good with communication though. It’s got to be extremely difficult for them too at the moment. Hopefully they’ll be as reasonable as they possibly can with the schedule and any necessary precautions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SissonneDoublee Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Heavy snowfall meant not all children were able to make it to WL finals the year DD went. They delayed the results to ensure that everyone was seen, and reassured parents that this would be the case so no one took unnecessary risks to get to Richmond. I’m sure they will do the same this year. The whole process was very fair, and communication was really good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge part of the excitement will be in just visiting the building and seeing the grounds (even if us parents can’t go in). It’s definitely felt more stressful than exciting so far. We were hoping there’d be a virtual tour (have any of the other schools done this?). Fingers tightly crossed for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitJeté Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 They mentioned they were looking into a virtual tour during the Zoom info session, but I guess they ideally want to film this with children in the school!
