Assuming you plan to gig, and you are in NC, you probably won't be gigging very big venues. What Watt amps are the Guitar and Bass Player using? Is the drummer loud as crap? Will the guitarists and bassist want to mic their amps thru you PA or will it just be you with a mic thru your PA? Without the answers to those questions, I suggest you go to musiciansfriend.com and click on the live sound option at the top of the screen. Scroll down and look for packages on the left hand sid of the screen and click on PA. Read up on them. IMO, I'd go with the Kustom Profile One PA package with 100 watts for $299. You'd still need a mic, but they have a Sennheiser mic with mic stand package there too. This will give you some ideas, Good luck.
