Senate Bill 794 designates the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass as the official brass band of the state of Tennessee. This recognition acknowledges the group's exceptional musical talent and philanthropic contributions over nearly two decades. The Southern Stars Symphonic Brass, based in the Crossville area, consists of musicians from various cities across Tennessee and has performed at numerous prestigious venues and events, including the Great American Brass Band Festival.
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3, by adding a new section that formally recognizes 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 artists.
