How to Set Up an Auditorium Flag

An auditorium flag is a classic and dignified display that adds a sense of patriotism and formality to any event space, office, school, or government building. Whether you're setting up a flag for a ceremony, presentation, or permanent display, assembling it correctly offers a polished and professional look.


In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up an auditorium flag using a freestanding flagpole and base.


What You’ll Need

Before you begin, unbox and inspect all components to make sure everything is included:


  • Flagpole with attached flag and tassels

  • Gold-plated stand (base)

  • Eagle topper (or other finial)


Once you have everything laid out, you’re ready to start assembling your auditorium flag.

Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions

1. Unwrap the Flag Components

Carefully remove the flagpole, gold-plated base, and eagle topper from their packaging. The flag and tassels should already be attached to the pole, so there’s no need to thread or adjust them.

2. Attach the Eagle Topper

Most auditorium flagpoles include a decorative eagle topper (or other finial) to complete the display. To attach:

  • Locate the threaded top of the flagpole.

  • Align the eagle topper and screw it securely into place.

  • Make sure it is straight and firmly attached.

3. Connect the Flagpole Sections

Auditorium flagpoles typically come in two or more sections that screw together at a brass joint.

  • Align the threaded brass joint of the two pole sections.

  • Twist them together until they are securely connected.

  • Double-check that the pole is straight and stable.

4. Insert the Pole Into the Stand

The final step is placing the flagpole into the gold-plated base.

  • Hold the assembled flagpole upright.

  • Carefully lower it into the stand’s center opening.

  • Make sure the flag is positioned correctly and hanging freely without twisting.

  • Adjust the pole so it stands securely and upright.

Final Touches

  • If needed, adjust the tassels so they drape neatly around the pole.

  • Make sure the flag is not caught or twisted around the pole.

  • Stand back and check that everything looks straight and symmetrical.

Once assembled, your auditorium flag is ready for display at events, ceremonies, offices, schools, or government buildings.
