Your Top Ten Favorite Marches

This is fun!

Bliss - March from "Things to Come"
Coates - III. March "Knightsbridge", from London Suite
Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4
Grieg - Funeral March for Rikard Nordraak
Hindemith - IV. Marsch, from Symphonic Metamorphoses on themes by Weber
Lloyd - H.M.S. Trinidad March
Raff - III. Marsch-Tempo, from Symphony No. 5 "Lenore"
Tcherepnin - Symphonic March
Walton - Crown Imperial/Orb and Sceptre (can't choose)
Wirén - IV. Marcia, from Serenade for Strings

Bonus: Sousa - The Stars and Stripes Forever (yes, really! )

Of course, there's many great march-like passages found in larger movements/pieces. One that immediately springs to mind is the tragic, imposing funeral march at the center of the slow movement of Franz Schmidt's 4th Symphony.

Good suggestions all around !

My favourite is Fucik's Entry of the Gladiators. Everyone knows it, but it hasn't been mentioned yet. The march from Sibelius' Karelia Suite is very good as well.
