During retreat, which song may be played instead of the national anthem?
Correct Answer:
To The Color
Explanation:
During retreat, the ceremony centers on the flag being lowered and honored as colors are retired. The tune that accompanies this color-guard moment is To The Color, which is the designated piece used in place of the national anthem for the retreat flag ceremony. It signals the end of the day and honors the colors as they are lowered. The national anthem is not the standard choice for retreat, even though it is the primary patriotic song for many other ceremonies. The patriotic songs listed are not the established retreat signal, so they don’t fit this specific context.
