Hi Felicity. Wow that is quick and sounds very promising for your DD - fingers crossed for you both.Felicity wrote:Keeping fingers crossed they make your DD a Foundation offer Coolcats!coolcatsmomma wrote:Hi Felicity. Glad your DD had a good day as well. They didn’t say anything to my DD about when she’d hear so we’re assuming it will be a no - do you mind me asking what they told your DD about how long it would be before they hear?Felicity wrote:
Wow my DD was at the same audition at PPA today Coolcats! Like your DD she absolutely loved it - really friendly vibe similar to Trinity. She said it was one of the most intense but enjoyable auditions yet (this was her last audition). DD said they let them know quite quickly. Would your DD take the Foundation there if offered?
Is there anyone on the forum with a DC at PPA who could offer a perspective?
I think at this stage if DD got offered a foundation she’d be doing cartwheels. We’ve learned so much and I think that a foundation would be a great thing for her.
I am pretty sure DD said they would let her know tomorrow??? Sounds super fast...
DD is hoping for a BA offer there but said there were lots of amazing performers at the audition, including many who were on Foundations at various places. I wonder if our DDs met? Mine was the one who swapped with someone who had a train to catch so needed an earlier singing slot. My DH was collecting by car so less pressure on timing. Was v proud of her for stepping up and helping that girl out.
Brilliant news!!coolcatsmomma wrote:Finally some great news.
DD has been offered foundation at PPA and is on the reserve list for BA.
She is beyond excited - (me too). Thanks for all your wishes. And good luck to those still waiting.
UCAS hasn’t updated yet but she’s had an email and it’s also showing on her PPA logon.
Felicity I have sent you a dm - fingers crossed for your DD. X

DD got an email offering her a place on the BA course which she is thrilled about so a good one to end on.
Lots of luck to all those still auditioning
That is really encouraging for her. So sad that it is out of your price range (and most of us here too!). Give her congratulations from us all. She must has impressed them as they don't offer it to that manyMarissa wrote:Well done all x My DD also got an email about the foundation yr which was really nice and has cheered her up although there is no way we could afford it sadly x
Excellent. I'm getting lost with all these offers. Perhaps we ought to start a thread saying what they are all going to do next year and people can add when they've finished all their auditions?Felicity wrote:Fab news Coolcats!
