Senate Bill 794, sponsored by Bailey, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to officially designate the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass as the official brass band of the state of Tennessee. This recognition acknowledges the band's exceptional musical talent and philanthropic contributions over nearly two decades, as well as their representation of Tennessee at various prestigious events, including the Great American Brass Band Festival.
The bill adds a new section to Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically stating this designation for the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of honoring the state's musical heritage and the contributions of its musicians.
