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. Band vocalist Greg Lowery — a 53-year-old sergeant major — says his role was to "look the part as much as possible," and he says he bought a red tie for his assignment. Another band member, Sara Corry, was standing in for Melania (meh-LAH'-nee-ah) Trump, a native of Slovenia. The Army specialist is from Capistrano Beach, California. The goal of the rehearsal was to practice events so everything goes off as flawlessly — and on time — as possible for the real thing Friday.
