Scotty McCreery Came To Shippensburg

On September 22, I had the privilege of seeing one of American Idol's former tenth-season winner and big country music star, Scotty McCreery. I attended the show with my good friend, Sam, at the Luhr's Center on Shippensburg University's campus. Seeing as though Scotty McCreery is younger and his music is directed towards a younger crowd, I was surprised by the amount of older folk were at the concert. Even when Sam and I walked into the premises, a teenage girl approached us and stated, "I'm glad to see other young people here besides myself."

As we got our tickets, checked by the ushers and were shown to our seats towards the back of the venue, we sat down behind an older crowd. At first, when we sat I thought that maybe this was going to be lame. An older crowd isn't going to sing along, stand up and dance, and get loud and obnoxious- which are the kind of crowds I am used to being in at concerts.

During the opening act, not many people knew the artist's song, so the crowd was still quiet. But as soon as Scotty McCreery hit the stage, the whole room screamed and hollered. Still, no one was standing or dancing to the music, but everyone was singing right along.

There were two parts that I loved about Scotty McCreery's performance. The first being him walking us through his audition experience on American Idol. He sang all the songs he auditioned with ranging from Josh Turner to Lady Gaga. His story added a nice and comical twist to his performance. My absolutely favorite part of the entire concert was towards the end of the show. Remember how I said most of the audience was sitting? Well not anymore! Scotty McCreery came down the aisle behind all of us and I had the opportunity to touch him! He continued down the aisle back to the stage as he was singing. After that, fans rushed up to the edge of the stage to finish the rest of the concert. Large beach balls were being volleyed throughout the crowd as he said his final goodbye.

Scotty McCreery isn't just an artist that sings and plays guitar. He is an entertainer. An excellent entertainer at that. No matter what age, you can appreciate what he sings, where he came from and how he made it to where he is today! The night ended by the audience giving Scotty McCreery a standing ovation that he truly deserved!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
