At all events (testing, tournaments, etc.) we display both the US and
Korean flags per the proper protocols.
We play both the US and Korean national anthems to opera each event.
My question is: Which anthem do we play first? and Why?
We often have guests at these events from out of the country and are
anxious to show proper respect.
Thank you for your attention to my questions. I look forward to your
reply.

If the event takes place in the United States, I would guess you should play the American national anthem first. Here's the logic: If you were having a procession of flags from different countries the American flag would go first. It follows, to me, anyway, that you would play the U.S. national anthem first. It's not a sign of disrespect to those from other nations, simply an acknowledgment of what county you are in.

Thanks for the question!

Sarah

I am very ashamed to even admit this, however I thought that it would be more shamful to my country not too. I can not for the life of me remember all the words to the "Star Spangled Banner". Could you please tell what they are??? Again I am very sorry...I don't know how I could forget one of my childhood favorates let alone my country's anthum
