Not many batteries will have the capacity to still start your car with LED lights on the duration of a car show, You should keep a spare battery or a battery charger/booster to start your car after the car show.

can you give more background to your issue? The car was running fine until.. what happened? Your old battery was weak so you replaced it? What made you suspicious of your old battery?
What is the new battery? Brand, type, CCA rating etc

Dan I'm sure in the intervening years since the post they have their battery issue solved.

The orginal issue was that the battery was being discharged because of LED lights the OP was using at car shows for a few hours.
