No more amps?

There is an on-line petition set up to protest the inclusion of amplification in the Drum Corps activity, specifically in DCI ( http://www.dci.org ):

I am starting a movement to make drum and bugle corps an ACOUSTIC musical activity once again. I took the first step by creating the Keep the Amps out of Drum Corps petition at petitiononline.com. You can view and SIGN the petition at this address: http://www.petitiononline.com/SCV1987/petition.html



Thank you for supporting us.

Myself, I am waiting to hear what an "amped" corps sounds like live before I join such a protest.
