- 1). Hold the flag at attention while standing at attention with the color guard. When the caller announces, "Color Guard advance. Post the colors," you will move forward toward the flag pole with the flag.
- 2). Pass the flag from the color bearer to the first two color guards. The color bearer will take the ropes from the flag pole and fasten the clips to the flag grommets. Ensuring the distance between the clips is the same as the grommet holes, the flag is ready to be raised.
- 3). Raise the flag quickly to the top of the pole. Watch for the flag to unfurl. If it does not, the color guards may unfurl the flag. Tie the ropes to the flag pole.
