How many wireless mics do I need for school musicals?

I have 16 for high school theater. For most typical high school shows that's enough to cover all the leads and most of the minor characters. We typically end up swapping 3 or 4 mics at intermission for actors who have a larger roll in act two. I would like to get up to 20 or 24 eventually... but 16 is a really solid number.
 
I used to say if you wanted to make money, get into lights. Then it was video. Now it's networks.
 
I have plenty of lights. That also is a money pit.

Networks is the day job. It seems to pay well enough to think owning 16ch of wireless is sensible, but not well enough to think buying a wider mixer is a good idea. It seems that my five kids want to eat too! :^)

Sell the lot of them for medical experiments. It's the Monty Python thing to do!
