In 1942, student band director Dean Ross found the sheet music for "Tiger Rag" in an Atlanta music store and brought it back to campus to play at football games. "Tiger Fanfare" by Band Director Mark Spede was added in 2003, and today, the band has more than 15 ways to play what's known as "the song that shakes the Southland."
