NATIONAL ANTHEMS: It is not reconmended that the National Anthems of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany be played unless the sponsoring organization is confident that the orchestra is able to play the Anthems very well. It is not necessary to play the Anthems at strictly social functions or at formal luncheons and dinners, as awkward situations and inconveniences may result. It is not the custom in Washington to play the Anthems at State Dinners. When the Anthems are played, it is customary to play the Anthem of the Visitor's country first and the Anthem of the United States second. When the flags of the United States and the Visitor's country are used consider the area where the flags are to be placed as a stage or a focal point, then place the flag of the United States on the left as viewed from the audience, and the flag of the Visitor's country on the right.
