Walnut High School’s production of “The Music Man.”

Music is a big deal on the Walnut High campus. Just check out the new $3 million music building that opened this year.
So its appropriate that the performing arts department is performing “The Music Man” as its spring musical. The popular play brings a con man to town with his scam to equip and train a marching band.
