Donald Trump is set to take the oath of office Friday, but on Sunday, an Army band member stood in for the soon-to-be 45th president during an inauguration dress rehearsal at the Capitol.

Military officials say the reenactment is a drill and preparations are necessary for any concerns of security during the event.

The goal of the rehearsal was to practice events so everything goes off as flawlessly -- and on time -- as possible for the real thing on Friday.
