Thanks Sue - who knows?

She just went backstage at the Lion King

She's totally happy - she stood on the stage, 'Timon' gave her the tour - she saw Pumbar & Timon costumes & the lionesses & the hyenas & the wildebeests & the bone cave (?)

& it was just wonderful!

(Sometimes I wonder how old she is)

Hi Lorry

Yes I will probably being doing similar, perhaps we could go for a coffee. This will be our third audition, was at LSC yesterday, so waiting to hear on that one.

[Katymac]

When we went to Stella Mann we went to a big shopping centre & did our entire Christmas shopping

[michellem68]

Great way of utilising the time Katymac,I might have to find that shopping centre. what did your dd think of Stella Mann.

[Katymac]

It wasn't quite right for her - it's odd she's been very certain about each one after each audition/open day

We did 11 auditions last year - only 8 this year

[michellem68]

I know what you mean, dd loved MADD, but we were at LSC yesterday and she didn't come out of there buzzing like she did at Nottingham but as I told her it is all good experience. I believe we have 5 or 6 more auditons after Stella Mann

[Katymac]

DD loves LSC - she did her associate scheme there

[Robsmumma]

Stella Mann is around 20 mins to half hour from Milton Keynes HUGE shopping centre, worth a visit.

Its funny how the kids have their preferences, my dd really didnt like Stella Mann and left before solos. They still offered her a place but she wouldn't go back for the funding audition

[Lorry]

Hi Michellem68

Great minds think alike

Katymac, I am so so pleased for your DD, also do you recall if there is a talk at Stella Mann before the Audition. Been looking at car parking there doesn't seem to be many close by is there on site car parking? ever hope full

[Katymac]

I'm sorry she did the open day not the Audition

Milton Keynes was the shopping centre (lucky we found our car after that)



Anyone at Bird on Wednesday?

[Katymac]

That's the way DD felt - Robsmumma

She said after the Open day if that's how training is maybe I'd better to something else

[Robsmumma]

Limited parking onsite at Stella Mann but loads of onstreet parking nearby.
I can't remember if there was a talk or not sorry.

[Lorry]

Thanks Robsmumma

Best of luck to all those auditioning at Stella Mann in Bedford.

No need to go to Milton Keynes while you wait for them to audition - Bedford is a large town and has a big shopping complex and plenty of parking in the town centre. There's a retail park on the outskirts too.

[Lorry]

Ah thanks for that Woody
