host country
Greece ALWAYS marches first. No matter what. But I dont think Greece will host the olympic games.
The country that is hosting the Olympics is always the one that marches last.
ZIMBABWE
The athletes from China will be the last to enter during the opening ceremonies. Olympic protocol dictates that the host country's athletes enter last at the opening ceremony.
Olympic protocol states the first athletes that enter the stadium during the opening ceremony are those from Greece in recognition of Greece being the home of the Olympics (where the Ancient Olympics first began).
Greece always leads the ceremony, the host country is always last. Since the Olympics began in Greece they are given the honor of being the first to walk during the opening ceremonies.
Bands in general do not always play marches.
The ancient Olympic Games originated from Greece; also the first edition of the modern Olympic Games was held in Athens - 1896.
The country which appears first in the Olympic Parade of Nations is always Greece, because Greece started the Olympic Games thousands of years ago. And the last country to parade is the host country.
Zimbabwe
The first country in the parade is always Greece.The last country is the host nation.In between, the countries march in alphabetical order according to the official language of the host nation.
