A lot goes into preparing for Friday's 58th presidential inauguration ceremony. The Architect of the Capitol erects the inaugural platform on the Capitol's West Front, sets up the necessary seating and fencing on the grounds, and coordinates other activities with the Joint Congressional Committee on the Inaugural Ceremonies regarding all of the physical arrangements necessary to accommodate the inaugural ceremony.

After church and coffee, Trump, Vice President-elect Michael Pence and their families as well as other dignitaries will be waiting inside the Capitol just before the program begins at 11:30 a.m. The U.S. Marine Band, also known as "The President's Own," which has played at every inauguration since Thomas Jefferson’s ceremony in 1801, will play a prelude.

Announcer Steve Ray, according to ABC News, will introduce Trump and Pence as well as the past presidents attending: President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush and President Jimmy Carter. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, will conduct the “Call to Order” and deliver welcoming remarks.

Following Sen. Blunt’s remarks, Cardinal Timothy Michael Dolan, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and the New Destiny Christina Center’s Pastor Paula White-Cain will deliver the readings and invocation. In an interview with Catholic News Service, Cardinal Dolan shared that for his reading he chose Wisdom, Chapter 9, King Solomon's prayer for wisdom in leading Israel. The program will continue with a musical selection from the Missouri State University Chorale.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will swear-in Pence, which will be followed by a performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Trump will then take the oath of office, administered by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. The oath, as specified by the Constitution, is sworn as the President-elect lays his left hand on the Bible and raises his right hand. When Trump takes the oath of office on Friday, he will do so with his hand on two Bibles: his own, and one used by Abraham Lincoln, in 1861. The Lincoln bible will be borrowed from the Library of Congress.

Trump will look out on thousands of supporters and likely some protesters, on the National Mall; also in view: port-a-potties, Jumbotrons for those who don't have a front-row seat, speakers and fencing for road blocks and security checkpoints.

When Trump takes the oath of office, he will say: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

The President-elect and the Vice President-elect will be surrounded by members of Congress, past and present; Justices of the Supreme Court; members of the Diplomatic Corps; and other dignitaries. More than 50 members of Congress are boycotting the inauguration of Trump, including two from Northern Virginia, U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly and U.S. Rep. Don Beyer

Following the inaugural ceremony, the new President will be escorted into Statuary Hall in the Capitol where a luncheon in his honor is hosted by members of Congress, a tradition that began in 1897 but then really took hold in 1953 and has continued ever since, according to Architect of the Capitol's Office.

The first time the Inauguration ceremony was streamed live on the Internet was in 1997, during the second inauguration for President Bill Clinton.
