Did anyone else get an audition for the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony?

are many people still waiting to hear back about the opening ceremony? I was told last week that they hoped to contact everyone this week, but I have heard nothing...

Well, while you're waiting for a cast offer or your next rehearsal, why not plan your own Opening Ceremony? (It's actually quite interesting, and the photos are a good reminder of what an inspiring experience it will be!)

Well I've finally done it. No not heard from casting - don't be daft. I've finally signed up to tsr and posted something on this thread. I've been reading it for weeks as must have loads of other people out there judging by the number of views it has had. I too had my first audition 11th Nov followed by drumming audition 27th November followed by being made a reserve then a paralympic audion 26th Feb and am still in that position and waiting and loosing hope by the day. I must say though that the wait has been made more bearable by following these comments and by the enthusiasm generated by what some of you say. If I hadn't been reading this i would have given up completely weeks ago. Well - Keep Calm and Carry On!! Guess there's not much else we can do.

Welcome seadiver - glad you have finally taken the plunge. Yes there are lots of people who are still waiting for para results including several people who auditioned the same date as you so stay strong!

I'm interested in knowing whether anyone has actually received a straight "No" answer from the auditions? I've noticed that it has been mentioned but nobody on the forum has received that specific response.

mid May you say? Oh dear ! <sigh>

However that said I am available from 13th May onwards for rehearsals (if they want me) so that might actually work out o.k. for me in the end. Attending any dates before then might be a little more difficult now (but not completely impossible either).

Lets see if they stick to their guideliness of mid May time frame.

Welcome! Bizarre: all your auditions were the same days as mine: 11 Nov (1pm), 27 Nov (2pm - drumming, no previous experience, Reserve) and 26 Feb (3pm - para closing, not heard). Maybe they are so busy with the first 3 ceremonies, particularly the Olympic opening, that they haven't done much about the para closing yet.

Well, we've had end of Jan, mid-Feb, mid-March, end March, mid-April, end April, mid-May...

There are no closing Para offers though so there have to be more in the pipeline.

Tell you what - I guarantee everyone will know by 9 September.

Hello! Another lurker here, who has been following this thread since auditioning in February. I wanted to post a reply when I had a cast offer, but had trouble registering. I have just managed to register (after being advised to use a different browser). Anyway, I am very happy to now be able to say hello and add to this conversation.

So........ I may get to go on the spreadsheet! I had first audition on 16th February followed by a recall audition (I think this was one of the first para auditions) on 23 February.

I had a cast offer (on Friday 13th April) for para opening ceremony group 87A.

I know this has been said many times but please hang on in there if you are still waiting. I am sure there will be many more offers.

Well done Yorkie girl - may I be the first to congratulate you! And yes our resident spreadsheet guru will add you pronto I am sure! Welcome to the family - we have quite a few 87ers on here who I am sure you will get to meet at rehearsals!
