The 2 turning boxes above have taken 4 measures (4 x 1-3) and have you facing the same wall you 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 overturn parts of the box comfortably each measure of a box can turn from 1/8 to 1/2.
As an extra pose, you could take a side step to the left with the left foot upon completion of all the sections to pose on one last beat of music at the end of the song.
