Hopefully your lodge treats it as the serious and solemn event it should be.  Remember that everyone in that room went through the exact same thing you are going through.  It's not a hazing event.  It will be a little disorienting but try to pay attention.  It really helped me to attend another degree a week later with my coach.  

If you wear a wedding ring and it's hard to get off slip it off before you go.

Does your jurisdiction use a cipher/catechism or is it mouth to ear on the memory work?  You may not know yet what I'm talking about.

Enjoy the evening.  Everything they are doing is about you.

Thanks Dan
This has been a long time coming, I’ve thought about joining for years and made the decision to to give it a go.
It’s funny several of the men in my family who are Masons said the same thing we were wondering when you were gonna show up
I didn’t realize that they couldn’t ask you to join. I guess if I’d waited to be asked to join and I never would become one.

I have two tips:

1: Relax

2: Pay attention

The Lodge is there for you to join.  They are all there to support you.  Relax and have a good time.
