"Throughout High School, I have participated in many different musical ensembles. Some of these ensembles include, but are not limited to; Marching Band all 4 consecutive years, Jazz 2 Ensemble sophomore- senior year (picking up alto saxophone senior year), the Chamber Winds and Symphonic Band, and the AMEA Regional and All-State Festivals for the years 2022 and 2023. These ensembles have helped broaden my instrumental range on Piccolo, French horn and Saxophone. My love for music has only strengthened and grown over the past 4 years, and I feel I would not be the individual I am today if music was not apart of my life. "
McKenzie Fryer is an aspiring musician with extensive performance experience and deep understanding of music theory, notation and history. Her love for the arts is driven through her self-motivation and dedication showcased through school ensembles and other fine arts programs. McKenzie hopes to become a world-renowned flutist in the future.
"I have played flute for about 12 years now, and I plan to continue on into my college career majoring in music.
I picked up flute in the 3rd grade, and in short, was told I would never get anywhere in life, especially on flute, so I should just quit. I'm not sure why any lover of music would tell a child to not embrace the culture of music, but maybe my 3rd grade band director was going through some crisis... he did play trumpet after all. This, however, did not break my stride. I persevered and look at where I am at today, typing my Arts Seal website.
