If you mean music that was specifically written for military bands, my favorite piece would be "The Stars and Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa. If you include anything written to boost military morale, this is my favorite:

"The Battle Cry of Freedom" by George F. Root

Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

We are springing to the call of our brothers gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we'll fill our vacant ranks with a million free men more,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And although they may be poor, not a man shall be a slave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love best,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

By the way, I'm not posting that to taunt you, nationalist. That really is my favorite song written for military morale.

My favorite military music is the jodies soldiers sing as they march or run.

Airborne, airborne, where you been?
Around the world and back again.
Airborne, airborne, how'd you go?
In a C-130, flying low.
Airborne, airborne, how'd you get down?
In a T-10 Charlie, big and round.

Drill sergeant, drill sergeant, don't arrest me,
Arrest that leg behind that tree,
He stole whiskey, I stole wine,
All I ever do is double-time.

Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he,
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his privates three,
"Beer, beer, beer!" said the privates
Merry men are we
There's none so fair as they can compare with the airborne infantry

"The natives are restless tonight, sir
Cooped up on estates with no hope in sight
They need some kind of distraction
We can give them that...
'Cause they'd kill if they only had something to kill for
They'd die if they only had something to die for
They'd cheer if they only had something to cheer for
We can give them that...

So it's off to war we go (I couldn't believe it)
Bring out all the flags (I never believed it)
Fight the good fight

It's working like a dream, sir
Half the nation are hooked on the bait
Waiting for the next victorious instalment
We can give them that...
'Cause it's no surprise that young men are heroes
It's no surprise that young men are strong
It's no surprise that young men are foolish
We've known that all along...

Exciting pictures on News at Ten (I couldn't believe it)
Read all the crap on all the front pages (I never believed it)
Fight the good fight

Chorus:
Dead men in the South Atlantic
It's meant to warm our hearts
They think that they died for you and me
Oh God, what a farce, what a farce

And now it's the repeats
Plugging the Falklands and the Falklands' spirit
Show the pictures again and again
Till the next war comes around...
'Cause we'll kill if we only have something to kill for
We'll die if we only have something to die for
We'll cheer if we only have something to cheer for
That is worthy of the name

Oh yes the next war (I never believed it)
See the propaganda in TV fiction (I never believed it)
Enemies with horns and tails

Chorus:
There are dead men in the South Atlantic
It's meant to warm our hearts
They think that they died for you and me
Oh God, what a farce, what a farce
There's crippled men back home in England
Doesn't it warm your hearts
They think they fought for peace and freedom
Poor boys, what a farce, what a farce"

My favorite military music is the Empire's theme from Star Wars. That should be the Neo-con National Anthem, heh heh

As an ex-drummer, for me nothing can compare to the sound of massed fifes and drums. The pounding of the drums echoing across the countryside as the melody from the fifes soars above is an amazing thing. As it was the military music of our nations founding, it's something that every American should hear at least once in their lives. As Mark Logsden of the First Michigan Fife and Drum Corps puts it: "It doesn't matter if you like the music, it matters that you heard it."
