When reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, all present should stand at attention facing the flag with their right hand over their heart, with the exception of those in uniform who shall salute.
When the national anthem is played or sung:

Designation: The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem.
Conduct During Playing: During a rendition of the national anthem:
1. When the flag is displayed:
  1. All present except those in uniform should stand at attention with their right hand over the heart.^[13]
  2. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder,
  3. Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present and not in uniform may render the military salute.
  4. Individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note; and
2. When the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
3. The musician or musicians performing should sit or stand as they ordinarily would to perform on their instrument or voice.
