Outdoor Events*	May feature amplified music (not pedominant aspect of the event).

*Outdoor events may feature amplified music, albeit this is not the predominant purpose of the event.  Noise levels will be significantly lower than dedicated 'Concert' events.  These events (where amplified music is played) are not to be construed as an Outdoor Concert.  An example of such an event is Oktoberfest, a feature of which is a German band playing traditional music in an outdoor large tent structure.
