BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Supreme Court has cleared the way for the trial of a long-standing lawsuit that alleged hazing activities within the Southern University marching band.Marcus Heath and Cameron Taylor sued Southern and former student band leader Jeremy Dixon following an off-campus hazing incident in November 2008 that involved band members being hit by boards as part of an unsanctioned initiation into the band's unofficial French horn fraternity, Mellow Phi Fellow.
Corey Hebert, an attorney for Heath and Taylor, told The Advocate Monday the high court's decision means the case will go to trial Oct. 19 as scheduled.
