Marching Band Alumni Working To Get Waters Reinstated

Despite Ohio State University officials standing by their decision to fire marching band director Jon Waters, the band's alumni association says it will continue to work to get him reinstated. Gary Leppla, an attorney for the alumni group, says members are continuing to look into whether the OSU investigation that led to Waters' firing was proper.  The school says Waters knew about but failed to stop a sexualized band culture he says he was trying to change. Leppla says Waters was never given specific guidelines to change the band's culture when he took over in 2012.
