SAW thanks all those who entered the 21st Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. In the past few months, judges have listened carefully to all entries. Those who attended our gala at the Hard Rock Cafe on November 21, 2004, had the great pleasure of hearing the songs first hand by the songwriters and musicians performing the songs themselves. As always, the contest is the culmination of many months of hard work on the part of judges, volunteers and most of all, the participants of the contest.
