Important Information and Frequently Asked Questions
Digital Ticketing
Bands of America ticketing is all digital via Afton, Ticketmaster, and venue-specific ticketing platforms.
Tickets cannot be purchased with cash, only with credit and debit cards.
We strongly encourage spectators to purchase their tickets online in advance before arriving at the stadium.
Cashless Venues
We recommend planning ahead and bringing both cash and card to Bands of America events.
All Bands of America ticket booths are cashless, with digital ticketing options only.
Many stadiums operate cashless concessions.
PepWear merchandise booths accept both cash and card.
Clear Bag Policy
Music for All events will follow a universal clear bag policy in 2024.
This applies to any person using spectator gates at an event (including students and staff before and after performances), including situations in which the band re-entry gate is the same as the spectator gate. This policy does not apply to performance flow entry and exit gates.
Camera Policy and Video Recording
Only still photography is allowed, and only from general admission seats. Still photography is not allowed at field level.
Tripods should not be used and the viewing experience of other spectators may not be disrupted.
Video and audio recording of any kind is not allowed, no exceptions.
Camera Policy
Who can enroll in BOA Championships?
Enrollment is open to all high school bands on a first-come, first-served basis.
How is performance order determined?
Preliminary performance times are scheduled based on a random draw. Applications received and paid for on or before January 31, 2023 were eligible for the initial draw, after which performance times are based on postmark of application, with earlier postmarks receiving the later performance times. The previous year’s Regional Champion has the option to choose its Prelims performance time. Finals performances are scheduled by a random draw on site.
How is classification determined?
Bands of America has a four-class system (A-AAAA). Bands are assigned to classes based on enrollment levels in grades 10-12 as verified by each school's administration.
Why aren’t the classifications announced?
By nature, appreciation of arts requires subjective reactions. We do not announce or publish band classifications, before or during events. Our intention is to not draw attention to classification, so as to eliminate expectations of a band’s performance based on class, including those of the judges.
How are finalist bands selected?
REGIONALS:The top 12 scoring bands, regardless of class, are invited to compete in the evening’s Regional Finals.
SUPER REGIONALS:Super Regional Championships accept 14 bands into Finals. The 14 bands are chosen according to the following procedure: the five highest scoring bands in each of the two Prelims judging panels, regardless of class, plus the next four highest scoring bands from both of the two Prelims, regardless of class, will advance to Finals. If a Class Champion is not among the highest scoring bands advancing to Finals, they will be invited to perform at Finals in exhibition.
Credentials – Band Field Passes
- Each competing band band is given 31 credentials with the option to purchase up to 10 additional credentials. Bands are given the exact number of bus driver wristbands as they request vehicle passes. Up to 2 medical passes for nurses can be requested by the band director. There are NO videographer passes.
- A pass or a ticket is required to get into the stadium as a spectator.
- Bands of American events are mobile entry and can be purchased in advance.
Participating Band Dinner Break and Picnic Area
- The stadium will be after Prelims Awards and reopened for Finals. Concessions will be closed during the dinner break between Prelims and Finals.
- Any feeding of band students must be in the designated Picnic Area. Please see the director Final Packet documents for this show for information and location of designated Picnic Area.
