Swing the mace counterclockwise 270 o (HORIZONTAL PREP) or forward 270 o (TRAIL PREP) to a locked vertical position with the ferrule pointing straight up. The crown should be in the pocket created by the upper arm and shoulder. The right hand should be even with the mouth. Plant the left foot. Count Two: Slide the right foot up to the left foot. Count Three – Five: Execute a three count 180 o turn. Count Six: Step off to pass through the band (with the right foot.) Count Final (odd count): Once you have passed through and cleared the last rank of the band smartly rotate the mace down 180 o . The ferrule’s initial arc will pass forward and away from the body until the mace comes to rest in a vertical crown up position.
