I need tips to take a group portrait shot of 19 people please. My problem is they want a white background. They are mostly adults. At least three generations that they want to present a print to their great grand parents on their wedding anniversary.
I use a large hall as my makeshift studio so space is not a problem. The same hall is used for dance studio hire etc so just you can imagine its quite big. Mirrors on one wall but I think I might manage to avoid any problems with it, its on the longer side so I can try to get the angle so as not to get any flash reflections.

But here is my biggest problem. I have one of those 8ft wide white backgrounds bought from Lencarta, very nice stands and pole etc, But I suspect I will be squeezed to get 19 of them in a way that I get white background from left to right. The backdrop is the one that stretches in front so I am planning to get a few of them sitting perhaps. But any ideas on how to tackle this or whether I am getting myself into deep trouble are greatly welcome.
They specifically requested white background :(
 
Why is this not safe for work?

Shoot two smaller groups and stitch them into one image in post?

Thanks, I clicked that tab without noticing and just asked one of the moderators to change it.
Thank you for your suggestion, sound quite a good idea, hadn't thought of that
