Fifes, drums, bugles, trumpets, pipes, and so on.
Used for signaling, boosting morale, intimidation.
Presumably it was only able to develop to the point of having dedicated musical corps because of the general increase in professional troops as states asserted themselves and kept larger standing armies. Of course it became less useful once troops stopped fighting in large formations and the nature of warfare changed, as well as with new technology like telegraph and radio.

Post some of your favorite marches or other related tunes, discuss how it developed over time from unga bunga bingo bongo drums to full marching bands, etc. Please recommend any good books on the subject if you know any

Here's some Ottoman ones since modern standing armies and military bands originated with the Janissaries:
