angel Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I actually did ring when it was snowing to ask if I should go to the main post office. She laughed and told me to stay in the warm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Last year I followed a thread much like this one out of mild curiosity. This year - Ecarte, pass me that G&T, and make it a double! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBA Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So if the letters come out in order of venue, does that mean that the London letters come out 2 days apart because of Bristol being in between London 1 and London 2 ?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmy3 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We got a yes to finals for my DD for year 8! We aren't getting too excited though, we know there is very little chance of any places being available for yr8, i'm just so proud she got to finals- it's all fantastic experience. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gog Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I feel for your young daughter angel and for you too. Good calming thoughts coming your way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thank you. She is very tall so I'd prepared her for this. I'm actually relieved! (Am I allowed to say that?) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieW Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 A great achievement in itself Emmy - the final audition day at WL is lovely. And sad for you Angel, but the disappointment will pass - and yes, you are allowed to say you're relieved! I was like that with my dd. She was hugely disappointed (especially as her brother was already there) but she had already realised that her physique was changing much more quickly than her other JA friends so she was prepared for it to an extent. A little cry and then she just moved on and enjoyed her last term as a JA. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Yes I think the pressure of big sister being there was a big pull but she has actually recognised that shed be happier at elmhurst so really praying for a yes from them. I now have to work out the logistics of having five children in five counties! edited to add my congratulations to those with a yes letter and hugs to those with no's Edited January 31, 2013 by angel 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Queen Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Fingers crossed for all those still waiting! Big congratulations for those lucky ones today and commiserations to the no's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well done emmy3 and jwot!! Tough for you and your daughter angel. I understand the pressure for a younger sibling to follow in footsteps of older one. My boys are at different dance as it worked out that way and I am pleased they have their own path to follow. Let us know how Elmhurst works out. Are you still waiting to hear about finals there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Meant different dance schools! Can't seem to edit from my phone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thank you Belljul, we're both fine. I think in my heart I knew she wouldn't get through so had prepared her well for the possibility. She got through to finals at Elmhurst (she did the first audition) so we will see. I'm happy they won't be in the same place. Living in her sister's shadow would not have been fun and there is only so much Nutcracker a parent can watch! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belljul Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Great your DD has a final at Elmhurst. A few families juggle one at Elm and one at WL. My eldest is at Elmhurst. It is a fabulous school. HUGE luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
