The silence in the room is interrupted by knocks on the wooden door and piped music. Everyone stands up.
The solid doors open and three elderly men in black suits, neat bowties and white gloves walk in. The music increases a note higher. It sounds like a church organ playing in the background.
The first man walks a few steps ahead of two others. He carries a rod while the other two walk into the room holding hands. After a few steps, the man walking ahead stops and turns around, he raises the rod and places it close to his chest, turns around and continues walking to the front. The other two follow closely. When they get to the front, they turn and bow then proceed to the left.
