Normally they are played as:
Army
Navy
Marine Corps
Air Force
Then the really good bands play “Semper Peratus Is Our Vow”, the one for the Coast Guard.

The order posted above would be the order they would play them in most formal events. Basic Protocol. I’m not sure that there is a “proper” order, but oldest to youngest would be: Army June 1775 Marines November 1775 Navy 1794 Air Force1947
Just an idea.

If you are going to play them all, then the Coast Guard should get theirs played first as they are older than all the rest…
However, if you are at a military base I would highly recommend you either start or end with the appropriate song for that type of base.
