This resolution recognizes and commends the Tennessee Small Band Association's (TSBA) second annual state championship, which was created to provide a competitive platform for public schools with very small marching bands (defined as schools with 500 or fewer students and bands with 30 or fewer winds and percussion). The resolution highlights that this championship emerged from the need to support smaller schools that were previously underrepresented in marching band competitions, which traditionally had limited divisions. The event was hosted by Watertown High School on November 2, 2024, and recognized several schools and their directors, with Hollow Rock-Bruceton High School Band winning the Senate Trophy as the state champion. The resolution specifically honors the participating bands from Trousdale County, Perry County, and Gordonsville High Schools, as well as state champion soloist Rhoslyn Hunter, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing educators who provide scholarship and competitive opportunities for secondary school students. The resolution aims to celebrate the achievements of these small school bands and support their continued success.
