Usually in the front row to the right of the center aisle the members are escorted to their seats.  Then, the officer to be retired and the presiding official, who take their places in front of the audience. The appropriate General's March/Ruffles and Flourishes is played once the official party is in position if the presiding officer is a general officer. Posting of the colors is appropriate, or flags may be positioned beforehand. Chairs should be provided on stage for the presiding official, retiring officer, and his or her spouse.
