2019 Adjudication Handbook, Section 20 about timing starts on page 16: marching.musicforall.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/05/2019-BOA-Rulebook.pdfThe exit line is the goal line and you have to be past that even if you are clear of the field and on the sideline, but rules may have changed since 2014. Of course there is also this caveat on page 18: Note: Bands of America views personal safety to be more important than rigid enforcement of the exittiming rule. Penalties shall be assessed only when it is determined by the Field and Timing Manager or Contest Director that the Band exiting is not making concerted efforts or substantial progress in complying with the rule. Bands that “troop” the stands, exit the field in the wrong direction, or have props or equipment that cannot be promptly removed are subject to penalty for overtime exit/delay of contest. Caveats like that allow there to be some discretion, of course I'm sure that discretion is more liberal with certain groups.

Timing penalties in BOA are most likely to be assessed for impeding the flow of the show. A band that is a little slow exiting the field only becomes an issue if it impacts the ability of the next band to set up or causes a real delay in the show.

Bands are schedule on 15-minutes intervals, but the timing restriction isn't actually a hard 15 minutes from entering the field to exiting the field. Here's the break down of the timeline:
–4:00 At four minutes before the step off time, a band is allowed to begin entering the field. –0:45 At 45 seconds before step off time, or 3 minutes and 15 seconds after entering the field. +0:00 In theory, the announcement is 45 seconds long and the show begins right on time, but that doesn't always happen. There's no codified restriction on the length of announcement, so in theory if you have a long pre show, you can just make your announcement really long to give your band a few more seconds. The show does have to begin within 30 seconds of the conclusion of the announcement. +6:00 Bands are allotted a performance time of 6–11 minutes, so the earliest a show can finished without penalty is at the 6 minute mark +11:00 This is the maximum performance time, at this point you must begin leaving the field. +13:00 You are allowed two minutes to clear the field, that is clear the field past the goal line. You can still be on the field and slowly moving everything out of the tunnel, as long as you're off the performance field so the next band can set up.
Frequently the next band's four minute set up window will overlap a little bit with the two minute exit window.
So if a band were to take full advantage of all the time allotted, there is a way to really push the interval past 15 minutes. If you were to submit a super long announcement that is a minute and fifteen seconds long, then wait the full 30 seconds before starting your show, you'd be starting at five minutes into your interval, then perform the full length 11-minute show and take all two minutes to exit, and you'd be at 18 minutes on a 15-minute interval, without being penalized at all.
Sometimes we do have to push a minute or two back because bands use all their time, or perhaps the limitations of the facility, like a single gate show or groups with huge props that can't all set up in the endzone during the band prior, or a band that uses the endzone during their show, so you can't prestage the next band. I'm convinced Marian Catholic's announcement length alone last year caused the contest to be pushed back at least one minute every time they performed. Usually those minutes can be recovered during later bands with shorter shows or shorter field exits.

And speaking of announcements, I thought this was too funny not to share, and surely won't be repeated at Indianapolis:
"The show includes the following selections from:
--Hungarian Rhapsody Number Two by Fran's Liszt; --Rhapsody "Op" One Nineteen, Number Four by Joe-annus Brams; --Norfolk Rhapsody Number One by Ral- [pause] Ralf Va-han Williams;
--Rhapsody on a Theme of Pan-a-gahni "Op" Forty-Three by Sergei Ram-in-off; --Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen; --Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin;
--and Hungarian Rhapsody Number Six by Fran's Liszt."
Local shows are full of colorful detail!

That came across as snarkier than I intended. At a conference once, I was asked to read a literary in absentia for someone who'd had to withdraw. It was full of Latin and Greek words and the names of obscure personages that I had no idea how to pronounce; I spent quite some time chasing down more knowledgeable scholars to help me out. (And on top of that the paper had repeated parenthetical notes (and even nested parenthetical comments) which (as you can imagine) are not easy to convey when spoken aloud.) So I quite sympathize with an announcer who is confronted by unfamiliar names!

I like Grove City a lot. Having seen them live this year at the Buckeye Invitational, and then having watched the stream of all but one of the bands at the Muncie BOA regional a week later, I think Grove City's musicality is a match for almost all of those groups. However, their visual style just doesn't appeal to people who like and judge BOA bands, and I anticipate their visual placement to be ten or more below their musical placement. And that's knowing they still had more to add to their show (at just eight-and-a-half minutes (not counting preshow), it seemed short for them, and then I heard a few days ago, as you confirm here, that there was more to come) and that the ending will probably include something meant to be visually dazzling, like the 4-to-8 scissor kick pass-through they often employ. It won't be enough, I think. But none of the bands they beat at OSU a week ago, including Miamisburg and Kettering Fairmont, would be likely to make Indy semifinals either.
All that said, I'm glad they're approaching this opportunity with the attitude you describe. I like how they even put out a little video (which now I can't find) that said: "What does it mean to be a BOA band? Absolutely nothing!" and insisted that they were going to be the same hard-working band with "hustle" they always have been. (For those outside Ohio, a well-known example: when Grove City's school levy failed in 2009, which meant that the band couldn't compete that year, the students tried to rehearse on their own and had to be stopped. That's how dedicated they are.) That's the right approach. And good on them for taking on a big challenge like a Super Regional. They'd absolutely make finals at most regular regionals (as Beavercreek did last year and Fairfield did last year and this year -- and Grove City is better than either of those bands), but why limit yourself to what you know you can do? A band's reach is meant to exceed its grasp.
And yet their show this year is rather unlike their shows of the past five seasons. A little more body movement. Rather less marching. A fairly large prop. An actual piano. A lengthy unconducted cadenza by one the soprano sax soloist. Some of these elements have turned up in some of their past shows under George Edge (e.g., the trumpet soloist in "Carnival of Venice" some years ago, although the soloist when Newton did the same number under Edge's direction in 1986 was even stronger), but Jason Graham seemed to be devoting the past five years mainly to locking down and heightening their core identity. The 4-to-8 kept getting faster and better integrated, for instance. But thus far, their 2019 show seems to me like something of an uneasy hybrid between their regular style and what they think BOA wants. At this point, I'm inclined to say their 2017 show might have served them better. I saw that one and Lakota East's production in the space of a couple hours at OMEA finals, and that was the first year L. East had made Indy semifinals, and I thought Grove City was better. Their opener was the same piece that Broken Arrow opened with in 2018, and musically, they weren't far back of that fourth-place band on that song (Grove City was even crisper and more impressive at a few points, as when twenty Grove City flute players on the move on the field came through as cleanly as five flutes standing on the sideline)--although visually there was just no comparison (and note how Broken Arrow didn't have any big props, relying almost entirely on drill for visual effect). And even visually in 2017, Grove City made very successful use of one element likelier to be seen in BOA than OMEA: a flying tarp, under which they executed a very nice position shift.
Now as to hummable tunes. I hear them regularly in BOA, but it is true that in the chase for points based on technical proficiency and variety, *some* bands sacrifice musical engagement. That's not true only in BOA, though. It happens with marching bands in every circuit and with drum corps as well. In response, DCI went out of its way to emphasize "engagement" when revamping its sheets a few years ago. DCA includes an extra caption for "communication" (but nobody quite knows what to do with it). There's a fair amount of overlap between the judges in these closely related activities. But, I think due to the sheer number of participants, you see more variety and thus at times more esoteric material in BOA. And when such material is not played expertly, it can be a slog for listeners, so that especially early in the season, as I look around the crowd, I see more than a few bleary-eyed audience members. That said, the single most obscure piece of music I've seen performed in the marching arts was a John Cage spoken word and percussion work by a tiny OMEA band.
And there's plenty to be captivated by in BOA! I think pretty much everyone at the Buckeye Invitational last week would have been blown away that 2018 Broken Arrow show, for instance. And even the much less accessible show that Mason presented this year, which beat Grove City (handily, I'd say), clearly impressed the audience, who were ooh-ing and ah-ing plenty.
[Edit: the quoted remarks above to which I respond are by bandnerd2004 not marimba11.]
I made a note on my calendar back in the summer for some reason to be sure and watch Grove City next weekend. I wish I could remember why I did that! But I'll be sure and watch!

Three years ago at the Toledo regional, I was sitting by some Lake Orion parents who told me that Michigan school is indeed pronounced "OR-ee-un".
This Ohioan certainly wouldn't question unusual Michigan pronunciations! Here in the Buckeye State, there's a Versailles pronounced "ver-sales", a Milan prounced "mile-un" (birthplace of Thomas Edison), a Mantua pronounced "man-a-way", and, digging into really small towns, a Russia pronounced "roo-shee" and a Houston pronounced "how-stun".

Okay fine, I’ll start.

In theory, the announcement is 45 seconds long and the show begins right on time, but that doesn't always happen. There's no codified restriction on the length of announcement, so in theory if you have a long pre show, you can just make your announcement really long to give your band a few more seconds. The show does have to begin within 30 seconds of the conclusion of the announcement.

I suppose not every reader will know these pronunciations, so for reference:
Franz Liszt's first name is pronounced with the "a" in "father" not the "a" in "rather", i.e., it rhymes with "John's" not "Dan's".
Johannes Brahms's first name is pronounced "yo-HAHN-us" and his last name should rhyme with "Tom's".
Ralph Vaughan Williams's first name rhymes with "safe" -- just like the actor Ralph Fiennes, who burst onto the scene as the camp commandant in Schindler's List (1993) and then starred in another Oscar-winning move just three years later: The English Patient. (Two years after that his younger brother Joseph was the star of another Academy Award winner: Shakespeare in Love.) But nowadays the elder Fiennes is best known for playing Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies.
The first of Vaughan Williams's two last name rhymes with "pawn".
The name in Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is that of a famous 19th century violin player and composer and is pronounced "pahg-uh-NEE-nee".
That piece was composed in 1934 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, whose last name is pronounced "rahck-MAHN-i-noff".
And Frederick Chopin's lat name is pronounced "SHOW-pan".

But this year, even just in music, they're not going to do that well even in their own scheduling block of bands, given that it includes Carmel, Avon, Centerville, Lawrence Township, and Center Grove.
No idea what they're going to score though. I just re-watched some video of a band who scored 77 last year at Grand Nationals, and that performance is definitely inferior to that of a band who scored 72 at a regional earlier this year. In my view, Grove City at this point is at least ten points better than the former performance and perhaps five points better than the latter performance. So logically I think they should anticipate a score in the 60s.

Certainly not across years, and especially not across circuits. Even between prelims and finals at the same event.

Lol. Marching band teaches you how to judge things that aren’t quantitative. Kinda of a cool application. At the end of the day it’s all comparative (per competition). Did BD really score a 99 in 2014 and someone gave them a 20.0, I wonder if felinisque deserved a 20.1? In whatever caption that was. Reguardless I think it’s fair to say Grove City won’t score below a 60 or above an 82?

Being from Indy, very excited for this coming weekend. Have not seen Avon until just now. I can see how they have been ahead of Carmel. I'm sure they will be close this coming weekend. Always love seeing Castle, but particularly interested in seeing how Homestead has come along. Going to be fun!!!

Going into the past weekend I thought having four Illinois bands in Finals was a stretch. There were some excellent performances at the Illinois State University Championships, so I now think four Illinois bands is possible, and I would not be surprised if all five listed above make Finals.
