First Degree Team Ceremonial Competition
Wayne C. Hogan, PSD, VSM
State Ceremonial Chairman

We are entering our second month of the first level of the First Degree Team Ceremonial Competition. This level is the district level and is conducted in August, September, and October.

Have the councils informed their district deputy that they want to participate in the competition? Have the district deputies encouraged their councils to participate in the competition?

All councils in Washington are eligible and encouraged to participate in the First Degree Team Ceremonial Competition. If your council does not have a certified first degree team, your district deputy may certify it during the first level of competition. If your council has a certified First Degree team, however, there are still one or two members who need to be certified, your district deputy may certify them in conjunction with the first level competition. The council will normally schedule this evaluation during an actual exemplification.

The first level is conducted during an actual exemplification in the council's regular meeting facility. An honoree should be selected for each degree. The honoree and all council knights are encouraged to attend the exemplification.

All grand knights are encouraged to contact their district deputy and schedule an evaluation of the council's first degree team. Remember, that under no circumstances will a 1st Level - District evaluation - be conducted after October 31. The second level competition will be conducted in November and December. Additional information on the second and third level competition will be published in subsequent state bulletins.

The Grand Knight's Handbook CD was issued to all grand knights at the Summer Leadership Meeting in Pasco. Also, on the CD were two handbooks. The first is the First Degree Team Ceremonial Competition, revised 07/01/09. This handbook provides information on the participation, prerequisites, schedule, evaluation, reports, notification and recognition. Appendix A is an overview of the three levels, District, Regional, and State. Appendix B is the Evaluation Form that will be used to evaluate the degree teams. The second is the Host and Co-Host District Deputy's Second and Third Degree Ceremonial Procedures, revised 07/01/10.

'The Best of the Best' First Degree Team Ceremonial Competition travel award will look great hanging in your council's hall. Where it is located next year depends on you!
