I don't know if I should use that or the standard 18-55 lens.
RAW on the camera says I can take. 1548 pictures on my card.
That should be way more than enough.
Or 5,728 on "L"

Chances are you'll never take 1548 shots at a single event...so I'd go with RAW - it'll give you a lot more control later in post edit.
As for the lens, I'd take both with you...but chances are you'll only need the 18-55mm unless you plan on shooting a fair distance away from the subject. I use an 18-200mm Nikkor VR on my Nikon so I have the best of both worlds and don't need to waste time swapping lenses.
Take some practice shots before the event...familiarize yourself with the controls on the camera and how it behaves. Until you get comfortable with the camera, I'd suggest shooting in full auto and hope for the best...unless you already know what you're doing with manual settings.
