When CJ is talking to Toby & Will at the Capitol, she says (referring to the music in the background) "That's the U.S. Marine Corps Band right there, The Commandant's Own." The U.S. Marine Band is called "The President's Own" whereas "The Commandant's Own" is the U.S. Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps. They are two separate bands, and it's more likely that "The President's Own" is the band that would be playing at the inauguration. Moreover, the Commandant's Own is the most elite among the Marine Corps Bands, all of which are comprised of enlisted personnel and commanded by career officers. The President's Own is called, simply, The Marine Band. It is an auditioned group that attracts some of the nation's most gifted wind and percussion players. While members of the President's Own are technically marines, they are not subject to combat deployment. Their only assignment is guaranteed to be at the President's call to play their instruments. Members of The Commandant's Own and all other musicians in the US Marine Corps Band program are fully trained and ready to lay down their instruments, pick up rifles, and fulfill any assignment necessary at any time.
