KALISPELL, Mont. -- A Flathead High School student beat out thousands of others hoping for a scholarship to the Musicians Institute in Hollywood.Steve Prunty placed third in a competition and won a full ride scholarship. He started singing and writing songs at age nine, and after dreaming of going to the Musicians Institute for years, his dream is finally coming true."I've always wanted to go to the school. I mean that was a given for me. It's very expensive, and obviously with financial aid, you take it where you can get it," commented Steve.Steve frequently plays throughout the Flathead Valley, yet he'll be leaving in two weeks for Hollywood.For more information on his music, you can go to http://fullride.mi.edu/contest.php?sid=185&rid=1980&aid=72870&mid=67028&mtype=1
