The Madison Area Music Association awards ceremony is held every June and raises money to get instruments in to the school system. Our buddy, MAMA director and founder Rick Tvedt has been working the MAMAs for more than a decade and has done almighty work - we are proud to help get school kids into music and give them a chance at artistic self expression. It is also the highest of honors to be chosen by a jury of our peers. So the first awards go to the schools who will benefit from The MAMA's fine work - secondly we The Wail would like to honor ALL the winners and contestants in the awards ceremony.
And here is what we the Wail brought home.
