IIRC the "President's Own" band had very specific height and weight requirements. When openings are available they used to put it out via marinenet within the service. I don't know if there was a specific guaranteed MOS prior to entry, however.

I played for the Marine Drum and Bugle corps from 67' to 70'. I auditioned before i went into the marine corp and the day after went and joined. I was not part of the DC band so I had to go to boot camp at Parris Island. I have a friend who is retired bassist from the Navy Band in Annapolis and he auditioned before he went in.
