Stand erect with proper posture. Your shoulders should be level and you should be facing straight ahead.
Step with a normal-sized gait. You should be taking steps that would be typical for you when you walk.
Walk with a regular style of step. Even though the song is called a march, you won't be marching in the traditional sense with choppy, high steps. Instead, you will be stepping as you do when you walk.
March slowly. Step at a slightly slower pace than a normal walk. This song usually is played at a moderately slow tempo. Walking slowly allows family and friends to view the graduates and gives the graduates more time to savor the moment.
Maintain a sense of respect as you march. You can smile, but you should refrain from laughing, skipping, jumping or acting silly in any way while marching to "Pomp and Circumstance," considering the song and occasion convey a sense of importance.
