When carried in a procession, the flag should be to the right of the marchers. When other flags are carried, the flag of the United States may be centered in front of the others or carried to their right. When the flag passes in a procession, or when it is hoisted or lowered, all should face the flag and salute. The Salute To salute, all persons in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Subjects not in uniform salute by seriously standing still.
Military formations salute upon command of the person in charge.

The salute is directed to the flag, if displayed, otherwise to the music.
