PROCEDURAL & POLICY INFO
Timing & Announcements
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.
Electronics
AS PER BANDS OF AMERICA GUIDELINES
Multiple 110-volt / 15-amp electrical duplex outlets are available on the wall 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 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.
