SAN ANTONIO -- A recent performance by the Churchill High School marching band is being called offensive by some who say the performance was insensitive to those with mental illness.
The band's performance at the University Interscholastic League's state band competition -- entitled "Symphonic Schizophrenia" -- included props resembling padded walls and had some band members dressed in strait jackets running around the field in an erratic manner.
The head of the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness said he was contacted by several people who were upset by Churchill's performance.
KSAT-12 has the video.
What do you think? Precision marching performance, or blatant insensitivity?

I think some people really need to grow a skin.
