Senate Joint Resolution 364, sponsored by Pody, recognizes and commends the Tennessee Small Band Association (TSBA) for hosting its second annual state championship, which took place on November 2, 2024, at Watertown High School.

The resolution highlights the importance of such championships in promoting music education and acknowledges the contributions of dedicated teachers and band directors in fostering student talent.
The resolution also congratulates the participating bands, including the fourth-place Trousdale County High School Band, the third-place Perry County High School Band, the second-place Gordonsville High School Band, and the state champion Hollow Rock-Bruceton High School Band, which won the Senate Trophy. It expresses appreciation for the efforts of all individuals involved in organizing the event and wishes them continued success in future endeavors.
