You may be refering to the fanfare "Hail to the Chief". It seems it is not used as often as it once was. It is a brief martial tune. Traditionally it is immediately preceded by 4 "ruffles and flourishes", a brief brass and percussion intro something along the lines of tum da-da-daaa da-da-daaa (played 4 times for the president). Hail to the Chief is in the public domain. The link allows you to hear both "Ruffles and Flourishes" and "Hail to the Chief".
