First time live performers

My friends and I want to play a song at our school talent show - specifically a Coldplay song. I have been in music a while, but I don't really know much about playing live. The auditorium we would play in seats about 300 or so, and we want to play and have our sound really mean something. We don't want it to be just a flat sounding song that everyone is like "blah". We want sound that will make people sit up a little. So after those poetic lines, does anyone have any suggestions to what we need for amplifiers and such? We will have an acoustic/electric guitar, an electric guitar, a bass and a drum set. There will be one singer. So what will we need/what would work for us? Any advice?
