My R brake pads are already bedded in but I'm adding new rotors do I brake them in the same way?

I have Hawk blues that I bedded in nicely with Andies good advice last season.

And after 1 full season of driving my stock rotors are being replaced with the Cobalt rotors fron Andie, (Nice lookin BTW.)

But, after I swap on the new rotors, (and do the brake fluid,) I was gonna run them with stock pads till I get to the expo then swap in the Blues for the weekend and back out for the ride home.

Is there any special care or method to braking in the rotors them selves or just slap in the respective pads and run since both sets of pads are ready?

Thanks for the info in advance.
