U.S. Marine Corps Band

The U.S. Marine Corps Band, dubbed 'The Commandant's Own' by C.J., delivers ceremonial music at the Capitol during Bartlet's inauguration. They rehearse with strict discipline in the background as staff bicker over Bible placement and trivialities, their playing provides ambient underscore to the proceedings, and their nearby presence heightens anticipation of the ceremony amid team anxiety and logistical scrambles.
