Waters hiring was announced Monday by the university.

Heidelberg University announced Monday they have hired former Ohio State University marching and athletic bands director John Waters.

Waters was hired as the university's new assistant professor of music and director of bands.

“We are confident that Jon will bring great energy, enthusiasm and expertise to the School of Music & Theatre and to the university,” Provost Dr. Beth M. Schwartz said. “We are excited that he will be joining our faculty on July 1.”

Waters was let go by Ohio State after an investigation in 2014 which revealed a “sexualized culture” within the band.
