There seems to be some ambiguity surrounding this :roll: . It'll probably become clear in the e-mails, or failing that, at the auditions.

We haven't recieved anything else from them yet. I'd hazzard a guess that it'll probably be a fairly popular nursery rhyme or some other well knnown song that they need for the audition, judging by the song choice for the remote audition.

I guess we'll know soon enough :shock:

i just received an email with the details this evening 2 songs both reasonably complicated, there is an audio file with it so i guess we are going to live eat and breathe these songs for the next 10 days, i think the whole family will be word perfect!!

Yes we got ours last night too. There is a song and a 'rap'. They are fairly wordy - I would have thought a 6 year old might struggle, but fine for older children. Timing quite tricky too.

No we are there for 12pm, great day for the tubes to be disrupted! Does anyone know what happens if they get a call back Sunday evening? Will they need to audition again on the Monday? If so do you know what they will need to do?

Sunday is always rubbish on the tubes added to which heavy rain is threatened. Great! I think, but am not sure, that auditions are Sun with recalls Mon.

hi claret

do you know what they will need to do for monday? i wonder if they will tell you on sunday which potato that they want the child to audition for once they have got a feel for which part they may be best suited to, i hope they dont have to learn a whole new song by monday that would be a lot in one afternoon / evening.

Don't know, but can't imagine they'd expect 6 to 11yr olds to learn a song in an evening especially as phone call won't be until 8 in the evening, normal bedtime for my dd!!
