He was the director at LSU a few years ago.

There once was a fellow named Tate,
Who dined with his date at 8:08.
But I'd hate to relate
What that fellow named Tate
And his tête-à-tête ate at 8:08.

King has stepped down as director of the Showband of the South after unspecified allegations were made to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office in August.


quote:

"One of my big concerns was when our son came home and told us about this for the first time, he really refused to talk to us about it because he was told he was not supposed to talk to anyone about it. I feel like my kids are being cheated out of their prime high school experiences," explained one parent.

"I don't know if you're going to hear this or not, but a lot of the students did not like Mr. King because he was very strict and demanding" said one band parent.

How do you go from LSU to a high school?

LSU, in its termination letter, accused King of, among other things, circumventing management directives by awarding scholarships to members of the Golden Girls dance team and flag girls of the color guard without proper approval.

King later sued LSU, claiming his firing violated his First Amendment and due process rights, and accused the university of slander.
LSU settled for $110,000, without admitting fault or liability.

Rumor is that the new directors want to phase out the Golden Girls and color guard, and taking away their scholarships was the first step. Membership in the color guard is way down and apparently about half the number of girls tried out for GG this year.

That’s a shame.

The culture and tradition of LSU football is disappearing before our eyes.
