1st time advice

[Deap]

Hi guys im after some 1st timer advice, some simple points or ideas to take my 1st group photo shots. I am not doing a wedding but have basically been told i am to take some photos for a friends daughter and her friends going to a prom and would like some quick ideas on how to compose my shots (several girls and a limo at a pub) what to be careful of, and roughly what settings to try

I am familiar with my camera Cannon EOS400D and most of its settings but i still class myselkf as a beginner going on ammateur.

Thanks
