Favorite Concert band pieces

As with many folks who play in community concert bands, I have my favorites that we've played in the past. My hope is that in sharing lists of favorites, I can learn of music our group hasn't performed yet that others deem worthy.

I'll start with a short list of some of my favs:
Sousa marches are a staple of our concerts and I don't really dislike any we've played.
Percy Grainger also makes our program often and I like most of his work. Childrens March, Shepherds Hey, Irish Tune.
Buglers Holiday, Anderson
Second Suite in F, Holst
First Suite in Eb, Holst
The British Eight
Procession of the Nobles, Korsakov
Armenian Dances, Reed
Farewell to a Slavic Woman, Agapin
Black Granite, Hosay
Sea Songs, Ralph Vaughn Williams

Feel free to add your favorites.
