Noon is deadly, man. If you got studio strobes with portable power packs you can use for fill, you might survive. Otherwise the shadows on the faces are gonna be depressing. Your best bet is to find open shade to shoot in, but good luck with that at noon. Organizing the people by size is important, and of course think about a seated/kneeling/standing tier arrangement. High is not necessarily best, depends on the background and horizon it reveals. With 30 people you can do 3 rows of 10, seated/kneeling/standing, from a low angle and remove a lot of distraction from BG that way. But if you go for height, you have pattern options as well, like circles or arcs, whatever.
Been along time since I did this. Always hated it, LOL.
