Need quick advice Please and thanks! Choir photoshoot!

Cafeteria shot (from above) for a HS Choir could be fun. Lighting in Cafeteria may be harsh, but you can adjust color later. If the Choir has a banner, set it out on one of the tables, have them arrange around it, have fun, keep it simple.
Go for it and dont be afraid to have multiple takes. This shouldnt be one set up and one shot. Move the kids around, get them involved, make it fun (but not silly of course).

All good advice coming my way I really appreciate this! I talked to a friend and shes going to let me borrow her 580ex ii and her 17-40L! So that should help a bunch too! I will write down all your ideas and bring them with! I will probably shoot tethered as well that could help a bunch it seems and maybe I will bring my sister if she is free, shes been in choirs for school from grade school thru college.

Thanks for sharing the results, they look great. I love the composition and will remembers these when I need ideas for my next group shot.

What lighting did you end up using for the indoor shots?

Hey thanks for the comments, sorry I forgot to reply it gets lost in the vast amounts of posts on this site, the indoor group shot was just 2 580ex ii's and the outdoor shots were just natural light.
