For me the piece I dislike the most is Stars and Stripes Forever.
Not only have I played it several thousand times, but most conductors don't know how to do it correctly. They should listen to the Sousa Band's recording. I have the original 78 rpm disk, but I know it's been re-issued on CD someplace. By the way, Leroy Anderson was the band director at either Harvard or Yale. I can never remember. Many of his works were originally written for the concert band and later adapted for the Boston Pops Orchestra.
