Request Form for Amplified Sound at Outdoor Event
This form is required if your student organization or residence hall is planning an outdoor event that includes amplified sound such as a band, DJ, speaker system for a movie, microphone for announcements, megaphone or bullhorn, etc. Before completing this form, be sure to review the "Amplification of Sound" policy in the Student Handbook (page 58). It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the terms of this policy which includes obtaining and paying for a Sound Amplification Permit from the City of Santa Clara.

Also, if you represent a student organization, then you still need to complete the Event Planning Request Form. And if you represent a residence hall, then you need to follow the protocol for planning residence hall events.

Amplification of Sound policy (from the Student Handbook):
"Organizations wishing to have amplified music at an outside event must obtain specific approval from the manager of the outdoor space being reserved. Approval must then be granted from the City of Santa Clara for an outside noise permit. The general hours available for outdoor amplification of sound are Friday from 4:30 to 10 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outdoor amplification is not permitted Monday through Thursday. No outdoor amplification is allowed during the undergraduate and graduate final exam periods and law school reading period, final exam periods, and commencement. Amplification of music or speech is not permitted in outside areas immediately adjacent to classroom buildings while classes are in session."
