Why would I support him if we don't even know why he was put on administrative leave?

tbh, he's not the best band director.

Sounds like he's getting screwed, but maybe we'll improve.

You don't have to. But there are a lot of people who can vouch for his character, so this can let them voice their opinion.

I thought the fans didn't like him. Something about lame halftime shows

When I was growing up, TGBFTL was legendary and was something to behold. Quite frankly it has been lacking the last 10 years. Whether he is a large part in that or not I wouldn't mind seeing some changes.

I think I'll wait and see. Usually when this attorney who is representing him starts trying her cases to the press, she's got a loser on her hands.

Listening to the same 1950s/1960s songs year after year has gotten pretty old. Maybe a new director wouldn't be a bad thing.

Sure he's not the greatest band director but he's a great person who has given the last 20 or so years to LSU and worked as hard as anyone to make the band what it is. It's a disgrace what they are doing to him.

I am a Tiger Band Alum and I agree. That being said I do feel like the overall quality of the program has been slipping since Linda left. She was the backbone of the organization and when she left a significant part of it left with her

I'll hold off until we find out exactly what's going on. You don't just put somebody on administrative leave after 20 years on a whim.

Maybe what is going on is a travesty but I'll reserve my support until we find out what exactly is going on.

The thing is its sounding like if they can get rid of him then Tiger band will lose money. Supposedly the school of music wants a piece of the pie that they don't deserve

There appears to be a difference in philosophy between the new Dean of the School of Music and King himself.

I haven't been a particular fan of the band as of late, but I am against what the university president is trying to do.

We really need to get rid of Alexander before he puts the whole damn university down the toilet.

Change this to that fatass trying to change tailgating and you'll get 100k signatures.


ETA: make sure it says to oust Mari. Not support her

i don't think you understand how much the SOM doesn't like tigerband. They'd love to get rid of Roy because he refuses to let them fool with tigerband money.

I'm not pretending to know anything. All I've heard are rumors of funding issues and an alleged witch hunt by his attorney. I'm just saying I'm holding off judgement either way.
