This creates a binding sequencing and duration requirement for official functions, forcing event run-sheets to allocate an additional 3:10 before the anthem when both are included. Government departments, schools, and public event organizers now need to update standard operating procedures, audio tracks, and cueing to avoid non-compliance at protocol-heavy occasions (e.g., President’s arrival, flag unfurling, Governors’ addresses). The order also standardizes use of the “official version” with mass singing, reducing discretion to use shortened or adapted renditions in formal settings.
