The 2 boxes have taken 4 measures (4 x 1-3) and will have you facing the same wall your started on. For team routine, this is an excellent spot to modify the amount of turn to enable you to face whichever direction you need to for a performance. All you would have to do is to not turn on certain measures or to over turn parts of the box comfortably each measure of a box can turn from 1/8 to ½
After a 4 measure intro (4 x 1-3 or 12 counts ) you should dance the sections in this order
