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 group's significant contributions to the musical landscape of Tennessee, including their performances at various prestigious venues and events, such as the Great American Brass Band Festival. The Southern Stars Symphonic Brass consists of talented musicians from multiple cities across the state, including university professors and secondary-level music educators, showcasing the rich musical heritage of Tennessee.

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 ability, dedication, and philanthropic efforts over nearly two decades. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the artistic contributions of Tennessee musicians.
