Saliva again won first place in the regional showcase and advanced to the national finals in New York City on February 22, 1997, competing against the other two regional finalists: folk trio Maggi, Pierce, and EJ and rock band Save Ferris . Saliva came in second behind Save Ferris, but received consolation prizes including money, equipment, and tickets to 1997’s 39th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony. By this point, Saliva had only played six concerts, but began to be courted by major record label A&R scouts.
