Appointments are for a one year term.

    The Team holds a series of rehearsals beginning in late October on successive Saturday mornings. Chapter officers are strongly encouraged to attend these rehearsals to see how the Ritual should be performed.

    The Team is available, subject to Team members schedules, to confer the Capitular Degrees in local Chapters, and welcomes invitations from Chapters. Furthermore, Team members may be available on an individual basis to assist Chapters in conferring degrees. Contact the Chapter Grand Secretary at the York Rite Boston Office to inquire about individual Team member assistance, or, see information below on "How to Invite the Team"

    How to invite the Team
    Send a letter to the Grand Royal Arch Chapter Grand Secretary at the York Rite Boston Office inviting the Team to confer the "particular Degree" on "state day of week", "Month", "Date", "Year" and "Time". The invitation should be received at least 2 months in advance of the desired date to allow ample notification of Team members; however, shorter time frames can sometimes be accommodated. Do not let the 2 months lead time deter you!

    It is customary, but not required that the Team be the guest of the Chapter, if a dinner is being planned. Chapters are expected to make a donation to the William Foster Clark Memorial Fund for the services of the team.
