MM Topic stepped up a few chairs tonight

I went to Lodge practice tonight, as we are getting ready to initiate two EA's on the 19th. When I got there the District Instructor was there to help us with preparations/practice.

Lo and behold the WM gets a wild hair, and decides to stick me in the SD seat. (I'm the JS). While I can do the opening and closing of the Lodge in every seat, except WM & SW, I've never tried to test myself on the EA degree.

I managed to demonstrate a fairly high degree of proficiency. I think I floored the DI. I know I certainly surprised myself. He said he'd never believe I'd never done it before if there weren't other brothers there to witness it.

I've got to polish the edges a bit, but I'm really proud that the WM had the confidence in me.

So on 7/19/2011 I get to have a big boy role for the big night! Woot!

Now ya need to get some theme music to set the tone when you enter the room...... do ya know any good masonic musicians

Oh yea... Congrats too.....

Yep I know a good one!

Thanks. I was just really surprised that they moved me. It's good to know I can work under pressure...LOL

Laudable actions do not go unnoticed.....


PS... I vote you not go with any bow-chicka-wow-wow style music too

I say you walk the candidate in to the "Darth Vader" theme.

Oh Gary, did you feel a connection to your candidate? I feel that that role is a very important one but one I didn't fully realize until I guided someone.

So far, I've only guided another MM during practice. I'll let you know on the 19th...

I guess once you learn them, and feel comfortable doing the parts, it's fun.

Or... You could come to Lodge and see for yourself!

Fly me out?

If I was independently wealthy, I would send my private jet to pick you up.

Yay, ok so then we jet set and grab the other from here and make a whirlwind at every Lodge we can!
