parkourninja Posted February 11, 2017 at 04:06 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 at 04:06 AM If playing the national anthem, the pledge of allegiance and an invocation are all part of a convention's opening ceremonies, which one of the three is always last? I am aware of the protocol "God before country" which would make the invocation first, but between the other two, how can you tell which should go last?

Chris Harrison Posted February 11, 2017 at 04:43 AM Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 at 04:43 AM You are correct that the Invocation should be first (RONR p. 360 ll. 32-34). RONR doesn't specify whether the singing of the National Anthem should be before reciting the Pledge of Allegiance although pages 360-361 do mention the Anthem before the Pledge so take that however you may.
