Art that advances to regionals is placed on the gallery floor where students and teachers can go to look at pieces. The judges closed the gallery that afternoon so they could determine who advances to state. “It was kind of nerve-wracking, but at the same time it was really fun,” Junior Claire Song said. “I got to see everyone’s art and everything was so good. Everyone was so talented. So it was just a fun experience going with all the talented people from Hebron and seeing all the talent from our district.”
