Music filled the air Tuesday evening in Shawnee Township! The Shawnee High School Marching Band was hard at work practicing for their 2024 festival show performance inspired by the Broadway play Wicked. The jazzy show will include renditions of famous songs including "No One Mourns the Wicked," "Defying Gravity," and "No Good Deed."
