John Waters}}
Jonathan N. "Jon" Waters (born June 7, 1976) is an American marching band director. He served as the Director of Marching and Athletic Bands at Ohio State University (OSU), and was fired in 2014 after an investigation found that he failed to address a highly sexualized culture within the band that promoted sexual harassment. Some alumni of the marching band have disputed these claims. Waters sued OSU for defamation; the lawsuit was later dismissed.
In 2016, Waters was hired to be an assistant professor of music and the director of bands at Heidelberg University.
