    Very true. If Grand Lodge wasn't the week of my birthday (Jan 20), I would've requested to have that done then

    My own 3rd degree is scheduled for January 17th. That date is memorable as it would have been my moms 70th birthday (she passed away almost nine years ago). I was very fortunate that the worshipful master of my Lodge was able to schedule me like that.

    Brethren, keep us informed. Maybe we should start a "myfreemasonary.com" traveling degree team.

    That would be fun.

    The Knights of Mecca from Hella Shrine do a lot of Masters Degree work at Lodges in the DFW area. I think there is some protocol with the GL for dispensation for the team to actually confer the degrees.

    Any group of qualified Master Masons of a jurisdiction can use that jurisdiction's authorized ritual without dispensation as long at that lodge's pedestal officers are there to do the opening and closing.

    Dispensation is only needed to raise a candidate using some other ritual. For example there is a traveling degree team that does Oklahoma ritual that confers degrees across the US with dispensation.

    I suspect dispensation might be needed to use costumes. But should that be the case? My mother lodge does degrees in tuxedo. That's a costume.

    Tuxedo isn’t a costume, it’s a standard.

    Yeah, here the Valley of Louisville Scottish Rite has a degree team that travels the area conferring the degrees when requested.

    I was FINALLY raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason last night. Although our lodge is still in a renovation process, this was the first time we held a degree in our own building since before Hurricane Harvey. And what a night it was, really enjoyed the experience & looking fwd to taking part in the degrees myself after I get this proficiency finished

    I did get the e-mail blast that y'all were also having a degree too. Worshipful Don Withrow from Humble Lodge conferred my degree. Still a little dusty but hey, at least we did our degree in our own building
