How are performance times scheduled?
Performance times are scheduled based on a random draw. Equal Priority Scheduling will occur for
paid applications received on or before a designated postmark date each year (Jan. 31 for 2008)
eligible for the initial draw. After the deadline, performance times are based on postmark of application,
with the earlier postmark receiving the later performance time.

Because Bands of America uses a large number of collegiate facilities,
certain dates on our schedule cannot be finalized until affected conferences
issue final fall football and television schedules. Any schedule changes
will be communicated to all participating bands. "Postmark" dates and Ticket
Cooperative fees will be "protected" should a site or date change require
you to transfer to another BOA Regional date/site, or withdraw. If a change
occurs, you will have until an announced date to make a change and still
protect your postmark date and Participation Cooperative Fee. Participation Cooperative
Fees are not otherwise transferrable from one event to another. Bands that withdraw
from an event will not receive Cooperative tickets and will only be entitled to
a refund per refund policy as described in the Fall Application packet.
Who can enroll in Bands of America Championships?
All high school bands are eligible to enroll in BOA Regional and Grand National marching band championships.
BOA defines a high school band as one in which all participating members are registered at the same high school,
and students from all feeder elementary, junior high and middle schools; or one where members are part of a single
band with a recognized joint program and membership in such band is the only high school marching program offered
to students. All events are open on a first-come, first-served basis. Bands do not have to enroll in a Regional
Championship to enroll in Grand Nationals. Applications must be signed by both the director and the school principal
or superintendent and must be accompanied by the Participation Cooperative Fee. We also encourage new participants
and veterans of BOA events alike to consider the Fall Preview Experiences. These early season,
non-competitive exhibition/evaluation events will afford bands the opportunity to perform at BOA events and receive an
immediate clinic/evaluation experience from one of our BOA evaluators.
What is the enrollment process?
Enrollment is complete once you have submitted an application form, signed by
the band director and school principal, and the participation cooperative fee.
See the Regional and Grand National Application Form for specifics on the Ticket
Cooperative.
