He was later transferred to Corpus Christi, Texas, where he founded, directed and played in the base swing band. In 1948, he legally changed his name to Ted Nichols. After meeting his future wife, Nichols surrendered his life to Christian music ministry. After leaving the Navy, Nichols attended Baylor University received his BM (1952). Upon commencement of Korean War he joined the Air Force ROTC program. Upon graduation, the Air Force sent him to Sampson Air Force Base in New York where he founded and then became Commanding Officer of the Air Force Bandsmen Training School, recruiting musicians from Eastman School of Music, Juilliard School, and other Eastern music schools. After the military service, Ted returned to Corpus Christi, founded and directed the Corpus Christi Youth Symphony while teaching in public school, and earning his MA at Texas A&I University. Wanting to work on a doctorate and having a desire to compose for films, Nichols and family moved to CA. In the mid 50'5 Nichols began work in public schools in CA then moving onto Santa Ana College as Band Director (1958–60). He became a "Dapper Dan" at Disneyland, and actually had coffee some mornings with Uncle Walt in the coffee shop on Main Street.
