I'm getting this second hand of course, but here is a comment I received while doing a design for a small church addition:

Their AV guy said that a 60 amp service for the stage n sound is adequate and must have its own isolated ground field.

Is there any legal way to provide a separate "ground field" and comply with the code?

If the service has several disconnects tapped off the service conductors, could each disconnect have its own N-G bond, and separate ground rods, and a separate jumper to the water pipe? Does that even accomplish anything other than adding a bunch of work?

No they cannot have a truly isolated ground.
True dat. One thing we all share is Ground. Israelis and Palestinians, Americans and Russians, Indians and Pakistanis, Germans and French... We all have, literally, a common Ground.
