Beginning in the early 1960s, the Texas Tech marching band has played a composition written expressly for the mascot. "Ride, Raider, Ride" (commonly known as The Horse Music) is performed in quick time as the horse is galloped around the stadium sidelines. The highly spirited tune was composed by faculty member Richard Tolley, Professor of trumpet and Associate Director of Bands, 1959-1991.
I remember Terry, David and Phil from their summer travels in the late 1970's recruiting for LCC -- they were a hit at Quartz Mountain Christian Camp -- and they still have it! Beautiful singing!
