Rock star made in Montezuma

by Natalie Kirton

Montezuma’s own Scott Stanton was proud to announce on Thursday, March 22 that a big opportunity had come his way. It was no surprise to hear that Stanton was offered the job of a lifetime, to travel the world doing what he loves most. Stanton, the elementary through high school band teacher of Montezuma Community Schools, has spent years teaching, writing and performing music. He can play various instruments and has a lot of knowledge on all things music. 

Stanton was approached earlier in the week by a team from a large corporate music industry. This company takes talented music teachers from across the country to give them a chance to become rockstars. They had learned of Stanton through various musical merchandise stores and decided to come and speak directly to him. That day, Stanton was given the offer to join a rock band within the company. With this opportunity, Stanton will be able to tour the world and perform his own music with other talented artists. 

Stanton told the group that he would think about the offer. He was ecstatic about receiving the opportunity, but also had some doubts.

“I love my position here at the school. Teaching students brings me a lot of satisfaction to my life. But I’m not sure I want to do leave because I’ll miss my students. They’ve progressed so much over the years and I love to be a part of that,” said Stanton. 

If he does decide to take the offer, Stanton will fly out to Minnesota to be acquainted with his band mates. There they will get to know each others’ music styles and begin to create their own music. Afterwards, Stanton and his new band will be thrown into the limelight, opening for bands such as Green Day, U2 and Coldplay. This new band will have their own merchandise line consisting of t-shirts, CD’s, signed instruments, posters and accessories. 

Some projected tour locations include New York, Florida, California, Nevada, Canada, England and Germany. 

Stanton has been given two months to make his final decision.
