But According to reports by the Washingtonian, it is normal for musicians to lip-synched at the inauguration.
“All music [for inaugural ceremonies] is prerecorded as a matter of course, and that’s something we’ve done for years and years,” a spokesperson for the Marine Corps said. “The Marine Band did perform live throughout the ceremony but we received last-minute word that Beyoncé wanted to use the recording.”
Yesterday Beyonce posted a photo on her Instagram of herself in the studio with members of the Marine Corps Band.
