• At check-in directors will receive an information packet and will pre-draw for finals sequencing. 

• ***NEW for 2026*** Upon your member buses arrival to the Union campus, event volunteers will board the buses and issue student performer & student crew wristbands (white in color) to each student.

• Your director’s packet (available at Band Check-in at Headquarters) will include additional wristbands to accommodate:

Tulsa’s Dan Potter, voice of DCI and BOA events, will serve as Announcer for the Renegade Review event.

Renegade Review uses authentic Bands of America timing procedures; we hope that this procedure will be a constructive experience for directors and performers, especially those who will be performing at BOA events this season, or those who are considering participating at a BOA event in future.

The main procedure to be aware of is that your band will take the field 4 minutes prior to your scheduled performance time, and the performance will begin at the published scheduled time (for example: for a 1:00pm performance, the band will enter the field for set up at 12:56pm.)

• Once signaled to cross south goal line into performance area, you will have a four (4) minute maximum prep time for set up and warm-up (placement of props/equipment must take place during this time). This time will begin at the cue of the Timing & Penalties judge.

• At the three (3) minutes and fifteen (15) seconds mark, the announcer will introduce your band.

• Once the drum majors hear their names, they are to immediately salute and set to begin the performance.

• ***THE ANNOUNCER WILL -NOT- ASK THE DRUM MAJORS IF THE BAND IS READY.***

• The first note of music or the first step-off by a member of the band proper will start the timing of your program and must occur within 30 seconds from the conclusion of the announcement introducing your band. 

• Each band is allowed a performance time of 7 to 11 minutes. This timing will begin at the conclusion for the 4 minute set-up/warm-up time.

• Following completion of your performance, your band will have 2 minutes to vacate the performance area (beyond the North goal line), which is near the conclusion of your 15 minute block.

• All props and equipment must be completely removed from the performance area within 4 minutes following the completion of the band's performance. 

AS PER BANDS OF AMERICA GUIDELINES

• Multiple 110-volt / 15-amp electrical duplex outlets are available on both the front and back sidelines of the field-level stadium walls near the 50-yard-line, and may be used at the unit’s own risk. Additionally, a 110-volt / 30-amp electrical outlet (NEMA L5-30 twist-lock receptacle) is available at both the front and back sidelines and may be used at the unit’s own risk. 

  • Neither the Union H.S. Band, Union Public Schools, nor Union Band Parents Club takes responsibility for supplying electricity.

• PLEASE NOTE that Renegade Review will NOT permit band directors access to the press-box, but directors may operate wireless audio system control within the specified director viewing area at the top of Section C near the press-box.

• To minimize wireless audio interference, wireless audio systems (mics, other audio transmitters) can be tested ONLY during the performing band's 4-minute prep period on the performance field. Wireless systems are not allowed to be active in the parking lots, warm-up areas, or in transit between these spaces or the stadium. Wireless transmitter packs are allowed to be activated (powered-on) only after the preceding competing band has concluded its performance, and must be deactivated (powered-down) immediately following the conclusion of its own performance.

• Please abide by BOA restrictions on sets/props height (12' including rails and wheels), especially with regard to elevated surfaces used by performers (surfaces at or exceeding 6' from the field surface must include railing).

• Call our Event Dispatch at 918-732-9414

• It is the position of Bands of America that music is the more important aspect of the Performance, with marching as the presentation and visual enhancement of the program.

• Similarly, more emphasis has been placed on the effectiveness to the audience and to general effect judges, than on fine-line perfection of the performance judges - which may be an aspect to work on for even better effectiveness.

• Consequently, the weight of the numbers in the Bands of America scoring system places 60% of the value on music and 40% on visual, and at the same time, 60% of the score is within the area of general effect and 40% within the performance area.

• The point allotment for the competition is as follows:

  • 20 points* | Music Performance (Individual) evaluated from the field

  • 20 points* | Music Performance (Ensemble) evaluated from the pressbox

  • 20 points** | Visual Performance (Individual) evaluated from the field

  • 20 points** | Visual Performance (Ensemble) evaluated from the pressbox

  • 20 points | Visual General Effect, evaluated from the pressbox

  • 40 points*** | Music General Effect, evaluated from the pressbox

  • Averaging

    • *Music Performance Scores Averaged

    • **Visual Performance Scores Averaged

    • ***Music Effect is judged by two adjudicators, scores averaged

• Timing & Penalties (or warnings) as assessed by the T&P judge, evaluated from the field level

• In the event of a tie, the higher placement will be awarded to the band with the higher raw score (subtotal before penalties).

• If after using this criterion a tie still exists, the highest General Effect total will be used to determine placement. This will only be used only to determine Class Champions in the prelims and overall placing in the finals competition.

How are competing bands classified ?

• Competing bands are classified by school enrollment, grades 10-12 only.  Under the four-class system:

  • Class A is 600 students or fewer

  • Class AA is 601-1325 students

  • Class AAA is 1326-1850 students

  • Class AAAA is 1851 and above

• For purposes of determining enrollment, each principal must certify enrollment and consider all those students in the grades 10-12 population as reported on fall semester State and/or FTE funding reports.

• Following the last band's preliminary round performance, all unit drum majors will gather in uniform near the exit gate to arrange for preliminary awards. 

• Following a recognition of all participants from the preliminary competition, awards will be presented as follows:
