anyone care to share their setup. I am going to do preschool class pictures. Just 10 kids or so, all under 4. I have been doing individual pics for awhile, but never class yet.
I have 2 decent sized umbrellas and 2 flashes, would that be enough?

This group image was illuminated with two Sunpak 383 shoe-mount flashes and two Westcott thirty-inch umbrellas. There were no bizarre technical complications. Just clean, smooth, diffused light with no difficulties or fear. The lights were pointed at the umbrellas and the reflected light correctly illuminated the area without the harsh appearance of direct flash. That's all.

Were they close to the camera 1 on each side?

Great, everything I looked at said it was a simple setup. But I could not have lived with myself if I didn't ask ahead of time. I suppose in this event you'd put 1 on each side and the flashes on the same power ?
