Electrical Advice

OK, I admit it, I know very little about electricity. Here's the problem. My 15 year old is having a bunch of kids over Saturday. The entertainment went from a stereo and some CD's and turned into two guys with mics, guitars and amps and another with electric drums. They want to play on my patio. I have one plain old double outlet outside (not BFI or anything) and am thinking the draw for what they want to plug in will be too great and trip the breaker. I don't want to be running wires out windows and from here and there. I had my house built six years ago and don't remember asking for or being asked if I want any sort of upgraded electric so I guess my service is the normal kind (see how knowledgeable I am about this).
How do I figure out what the service is into my house and what the outlet can handle?
(And I wonder why I never have time to fish)

Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish. ~Herbert Hoover
