Seeing the Reviewing Party halt.  I turn about and direct

BRING YOUR UNITS TO PRESENT ARMS

All commanders in sequence from right (with back to formation) to left, face about and command PRESENT ARMS, the face to the front, and salute.  All flags are dipped except the Imperial Flag.

I then turn about facing the Reviewing stand and command the staff and myself,
PRESENT ARMS

The Grand Marshal returns the salute.  After presentation of the command, i go to order arms, and gives the command to the staff, ORDER, ARMS. 

I face about and direct BRING YOUR UNITS TO ORDER ARMS AND PARADE REST.

The Headquarters Commander, the Field Marshal of the Army, the Fleet Marshal of the Navy and their subordinates echo the command.  Once the last one turns back around and stand at parade rest, I do an about face.

SOUND OFF

I direct the band and they play three sound off chords.  At the end of the third chord, the band moves forward marching in quick time. Then they conduct a wheel and move to march in front of the troops, only to return and their original position.

Sound off is a ceremonial tradition that has been handed down over the decades since the earliest days of the American Army on Earth and brought here to the Imperium in the early parades of the Imperial Guard.  On the command of SOUND OFF, it is customary for the band to march across the front of troops, then countermarch back across the front and halt in it’s original position.  This tradition is said to have originated in the Holy Crusades when troops offering themselves for Holy service were drawn up into a long formation and the band countermarched before those chosen to serve. This today is also the same when new guardians are chosen.


The band returns to their original position and plays the three sound off chords again.

After the last note of sound off is played I give the command attention to the staff and turn and face the reviewing stand.


I salute and report.

SIR, THE COMMAND IS PREPARED FOR INSPECTION

The band begins to play music as we move to inspect.

The Grand Marshal returns the salute and they all proceed towards the band.  We march to the bands music, between the commanders and their units.  As we approach, each commander prepares the unit.
