Patch on the right arm is a deployment patch. It means those individuals have deployed with 1CD in the past. The left sleeve patch designates the current unit. NG picks up a lot of AD people after a contract or two and you still wear your AD awards and patches. So seeing a Cav deployment patch doesn’t really mean much. 1CD has been at Fort Hood since the 70s. We started over at Bliss but moved in 71.
That can’t be randomized

Military musician here, it definitely sounds like a lower key. Usually it goes seamlessly from the Ruffles into the March as far as the key and is played slightly faster than the flourishes. I’ll have to check my music pouch tomorrow to see what key Hail to the Chief is in for the DoD version.
After seeing the second clip, it’s not unlikely that the key gets adjusted for the group performing, ie a brass group or a full band. So it’s not necessarily significant but you’d think that one of the top military ensembles in the world would’ve performed it better for “the president”.
