Best wishes and hope it goes really well!
We are waiting. DD had her audition last Thursday, which were the last ones. Hopefully will all hear soonLiveToDance wrote:Hi there. Just wondering if anyone else is still waiting to hear from Performers about degree/diploma place. Got a letter saying they would let us know by the end of March after all their auditions, but still haven’t had a letter. Anyone else in a similar situation?
That’s good to know, thank you. Good luck!Munchpot wrote:We are waiting. DD has her audition last Thursday, which were the last ones. Hopefully will all hear soonLiveToDance wrote:Hi there.

Congratulations to your DS. Not seen my DS yet, but he's been offered Foundation, not sure at what point he was told that. Unfortunately can't really afford a Foundation course, so he'll be off to Italia Conti (unless he decides to still try for Mountview with a scholarship).Candafitt wrote:Update from today’s GSA recall!
