Band Pictures

I was asked to do my first photo shoot for someone last night. The band that I have pictures of from singer/songwriter club asked to take publicity type pictures.
Reading the comments and suggestions from the link below, heres a few things I was able to gather.
1) A Reflector would be a good inexpensive tool to aid the process
2) Represent the band and their music
3) Photo and drawings can be combined well to create nice results
4) Try pulling strings to have things like signs on movie theater or band in pilot seat of an airplane
5) Individual Faces
6) Spend time with them and never stop taking pictures

Some of these are obvious but its a good thing to keep in mind when im freaking out this thursday.
