Senate Bill 794, also known as House Bill 1094, aims to recognize the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass by designating it as the official brass band of the state of Tennessee. This bill highlights the band's contributions to the musical landscape of Tennessee, noting its performances across various venues and its representation of the state at the Great American Brass Band Festival. The Southern Stars Symphonic Brass consists of talented musicians from multiple cities in Tennessee, including university professors and secondary-level music educators, and has been active for nearly two decades.

The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3, by adding a new section that formally designates the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass as the official brass band of Tennessee. This recognition serves to honor the band's exceptional musical talent and philanthropic efforts within the community. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the cultural contributions of Tennessee musicians.
