PA or not ?

Before everyone gets excited suggesting 100w PA is not big enough shouldn't we find out what size audience the OP is expecting? Whether people are expecting to dance. Whether this is just a few songs to demonstrate that the kids can play as a band.

That was my first thought, and also that at a primary school fete loud may not be appreciated.

i dont think there will be that many people listening all at once the girls are playing at the opening of the fete (when hardly anyone is there) and at the close (when hardly anyone is there )
would just be nice if they were heard about 20 feet away or maybe beyond
given up on the idea of seperate amps going with a pa and bass amp the pa will be borrowed im hoping, not sure on its power but if its not enough we will know for next time

I hope your daughters band's getting paid for this?

no money will be changing hands they enjoy playing a lot (and the attention that goes with it ) makes the practice worthwhile and keeps them away from usual teenage things like smoking drinking and anything else that could seem fun at the time

you should have seen it was two walkman sized speakers on sticks so glad i packed the amps
