JSU "Sonic Boom of the South"; commend upon dynamic performance at 136th Tournament of Roses Parade.
This is a ceremonial resolution (not a substantive bill) passed by the Mississippi House of Representatives. It formally commends Jackson State University's "Sonic Boom of the South" marching band and its director, Dr. Roderick Little, for their performance at the 2025 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. The resolution recognizes the band's historic selection as the sole HBCU band in the parade, its national recognition, and its contributions to Jackson State University and Mississippi. It has no legal effect or policy changes - it is purely symbolic praise.
