Yes! The West Point Band is one of over 30 active duty Army bands. In every case, band members play a musical instrument full-time for the Army. 42R is the MOS for Bandsperson, and 42S is the MOS for Special Bandsperson. Both are full-fledged Army jobs, like military police, truck driver, cook, medic, and so on.
