Ideally - arrive 30+ min before start. This allows time for sign-in, prep, socializing, and for the District Marshal to organize people.

Plan to arrive no later than 15 minutes before the DDGM is to be received.

Those on the suite should wear tuxedo, black bowtie, apron, white gloves

Purple aprons may be provided for some brethren (i.e. District Officers)

Travelling Aprons are appropriate

For all others - blue-bordered or white aprons as appropriate
