I am going to add here more two points for photographing people in outdoors.

Never, ever, shoot a portrait at less than 50mm; try to stay at 70mm or higher.
Always focus on the eyes.

Thanks! I note the link you offered suggests outdoor portraits should above all be fun. I guess that means for everyone concerned - photographer and subjects.....I thought the blues band shot rather noisy when I looked closely at the red shirt but not sure why...ISO 1600 on D610 at f18 1/320 +0.7 250mm - it is slightly cropped to trim off a few tops of heads and some intruding gear at the right....regards Jeff
