Some are getting no enquiries at all and others are being forced to dispense with the traditional annual auditions. 'Modern distractions' and 'the increasing secularisation of society' are being held to blame according to a recent report in The Times. There is also the time commitment involved. While parents of successful applicants receive financial help in the form of bursaries, they still have to devote a considerable part of the week getting their children to and from rehearsals and performances – estimated to be as high as 22 hours in some cases.
