I built a 12x32 stage and I would like to know if a 100 amp service will be enough to push all of the equipment. The assumption is a 5 piece band with a medium size light show.

The issue is the light show. A 100 amp single phase service at 240 volts is 24,000 watts.

Or, 24 - 1000 watt Par cans. To me that's a medium light show, and leaves no capacity for sound or instruments.

Need to get a total load of light show.
