Some more really great band pieces, to me, are:
Pas Redouble-Saint-Saens
Esprit de Corps-Jager
Architect of Victory-I can't remember the composer. I heard this a few years ago performed by the D.C. Army band.
Favorite March/Band Piece

I love marches from different countries and their contrasting styles such as:
Valdres
Florentiner
Colonel Bogey
Under the double eagle
Invercargil
Grand March from Aida
March and Procession of Bacchus
Great Gate of Kiev
Or marche Slav
Amporito Roca
As for American marches:
March "Grandioso"
National Spirit
Nobles of the Mystic Shrine
Americans We
Trombone King (Any Karl King March really)
Non march stuff, anything by Percy Grainger, especially Lincolnshire Posey and Irish Tune from County Derry
Of course don't forget the Holst Suites and the Vaughn William folk Song Suite.
Hanson Chorale and Alleluia
3rd Suite by Jager
Incantation and Dance..
Carter Overture for Winds
Reed Festival Prelude
Erickson Toccata for band
All pretty much old school stuff I will admit, but all classic stuff... and it is classic for a reason.
There is an old arrangemet of Malaguena by John Cacavas that is very nice too (it is an arrangement of the origianl piano piece not the Kenton version, which ain't bad either, but htat is for a different post...) He also arrandged an nice March version of America.

There is a great old traditional British military march called BB & CF by James Ord Hume (1864-1932). It doesn't really sound like a military march but it is a lot of fun. The tuba part is one of the most challenging.
"Ord Hume" is a two-name surname. Sometimes people file it under H for Hume. It should be filed under O for Ord Hume.
BB & CF was commissioned by John Henry Iles, who was the editor of both "British Bandsman" and "Contest Field" magazines (same publisher and editor). You might hear other stories about the initials but I got this from an article from the British Bandsman, a 1987 issue.
