"After the people have gathered, the Entrance chant begins as the priest enters with the deacon and ministers. The purpose of this chant is to open the celebration, foster the unity of those who have been gathered, introduce their thoughts to the mystery of the liturgical season or festivity, and accompany the procession of the priest and ministers." (GIRM #47)

Notice the order of these purposes: only lastly does this song serve as "walking music." The Entrance Chant clearly has more value than to be ended as soon as the priest makes his entrance.
