Tehcnically, not if you're running a bash shell, and the script is written 
in bash scripting language. It's a good idea to put it in however because 
if you are using a different shell and you omit the #! then it will almost 
certainly break. Besides, it's good practice, so I'd really say in my 
opinion it is mandatory for almost all cases. I can't think of a good 
reason to leave it out.
