Teenage country star Scotty Mccreery is returning to high school to serve out the final months of his senior year.
North Carolina native MCCreery put his studies on hold to audition for the 10th season of hit U.S. show American Idol in 2011. He won the competition and extended his leave of absence to concentrate on his music career.
However, the I Love You This Big hitmaker is now setting his sights on furthering his education, revealing he's due to finish up his time at Garner Magnet High School once he wraps up his concert tour with Brad Paisley this spring (12).
He tells the News Observer, "Almost everywhere I go someone wants to take a picture or talk to me, but at the high school I'm just another guy with a backpack who wears jeans and a T-shirt. At school, it is just like I never left."
And former baseball player McCreery plans on making the most of his experience by reprising his role as the varsity team's relief pitcher - even though he's a little rusty.
He adds, "I'm in an adult world now, but I want to be able to play baseball with my friends. I still want to have a senior year in high school and play some baseball. I've got work to do. But I think it will come back when I can get home and practice every day instead of one day a week or so."
Brad Paisley Pranks the Band Perry in KentuckySeaWorld says the anteater tried to convince McCreery that eating ants with bbq sauce prior to the concert was a great energy booster. No word from McCreery if he took the anteater’s advice.
The main reason for our visit to Sea World today was to see the American Idol winner, 17 year old Scotty McCreery in Concert as part of the Bands, Brew and BBQ Festival which has been running for a few years at Sea World. There has been major money invested in this event. The festival grounds were themed and beautifully decorated – even the signage was very impressive looking. When the park opened this morning, Scotty’s most loyal fans rushed to get in for his 4pm show. The stadium gates opened at noon and by 3pm there were no stadium seats available for the show. Souvenir sales were brisk. It seemed as though every young girl wanted one of the Scotty $30.00 t-shirts and $5.00 Scotty plastic bracelets. Scotty could not do wrong in these young girls eyes as he performed his short hour long show. He talked about the fact that a year and a half ago he was bagging groceries to make money – what a difference a few months can make. His young, five piece band played many traditional country instruments like the fiddle and steel guitar. Scotty doesn’t have many song of his own yet so he also sang cover songs from country artists like, George Strait. There are very few young singers that are currently singing traditional country so I hope Scotty continues this style and has a long career. He is as true country as you can get.
