12 INDUCTION REHEARSAL: THE ACTUAL CEREMONY PROCESS  At 6:55 pm, the NHS members in the Lobby will close the doors & join the other Members in the Cafeteria.  The NHS Members will be lined up alphabetically in two rows.  They will proceed out of the cafeteria along the side of the auditorium, and enter from the lobby.

13 INDUCTION REHEARSAL: THE ACTUAL CEREMONY PROCESS  The rows will split to enter the left and right doors, and proceed down the aisles, past the new Inductees.  The NHS Members will take seats on the left and right of the stage.  The NHS president will call everyone to order.

14 INDUCTION REHEARSAL: THE ACTUAL CEREMONY PROCESS  The NHS president will open with an introduction.  Then, the NHS V-P goes to the podium, reads the scholarship paragraph, and then, from the lighted candle, lights the first small candle on the table.  As VP sits down, the Exec. Council Member walks to the podium, reads the leadership paragraph, and then lights the 2 nd small candle on the table.

16 INDUCTION REHEARSAL: THE ACTUAL CEREMONY PROCESS  At the same time, the Usher moves to the front row of chairs to usher students to their seats.  The first Stage Participant walks to the podium, reads the paragraph explaining the tapping, and the first set of names.  Officers & Stage Participants: we will be going over this in detail AFTER the main body of students have been dismissed. Please remain.

17 INDUCTION REHEARSAL: THE ACTUAL CEREMONY PROCESS  When a Inductee Name is read:  The Inductee should stand and exit their row and proceed down the left or right aisle.  Inductees will be seated alphabetically– with an indication of LEFT OR RIGHT (so you will know what to do).  A NHS Member will meet them halfway up the aisle, and escort them to the steps of the stage.  The Inductee will then proceed to the table, where they will be given a charm by the NHS Secretary, and will sign the membership registration & receive their certificate folder.  Then the Inductee will be escorted to their seat on the stage by the Usher.  The entire row remains standing UNTIL it is full.

18 INDUCTION REHEARSAL: THE ACTUAL CEREMONY PROCESS  When all the Inductees have been tapped, and proceeded to the stage:  The NHS President will go to the podium.  The Stage Participants will light their candles, and then the candle of the person next to them.  Until all the candles are lit.  (After lighting the inductees’ candles, speakers return to their seats and carefully blow out their candles. )  The President then reads the membership pledge, congratulates new members, and invites guests to the reception in the cafeteria.  Proceed to the Cafeteria for the Reception.

19 INDUCTION REHEARSAL: QUESTIONS & ANSWERS  Raise your Hand, so we can see you.  A few answers to FAQs:  If you have to ask whether it is appropriate dress, it isn’t!  We cannot watch/keep your purse, backpack, cellphone, et cetera, for you.  This is a long and serious ceremony, so small children will not have much fun during it.  Yes, we will pull you out of the ceremony if you are not dressed appropriately.  You really do need to have your cell phone off.  We recommend parking by the Freshman Academy, but that fills up FAST. Secondary parking can be found in front of the school & the Senior Gym lot.
