  21. The Ceremony • People needing assistance up the ramps may wait at the staging area near the bottom of the home ramp. Go over this with your family members. • Seniors Check-in at 4:30. Staging behind the scoreboard. • Processional starts at 5:45 pm on the dot. • Ceremony starts about 6:00 pm and finishes about 7:15 pm.
