The Senate Resolution commends and congratulates a group of Southern University students, known as "The Dream Team," for their remarkable achievement in winning an Emmy Award for their documentary titled "The Hidden Sport." This short film highlights the Southern University Human Jukebox marching band, exploring the physical demands, discipline, and cultural significance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) marching bands. By framing their performances within the context of athleticism and competition, the documentary challenges traditional definitions of sport and showcases the dedication and excellence of marching band members.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of this achievement not only for the students—Loren Sullivan, Verbon Muhammad, Sydney Cuillier, Ashley Lovelace, and Erich White—but also for Southern University and HBCUs as a whole, as it elevates the visibility and appreciation of HBCU culture on a national level. The project was supported by a Coca-Cola HBCU Sports Production Grant, further underscoring the promise of emerging storytellers from these institutions. The Senate expresses its pride in their accomplishment and the exemplary representation they provide for Southern University and HBCUs nationwide.
