Wow, thank you both so much. I've worked as an assistant to a few wrdding photographers and its burned in my mind to avoid bumping the ISO too high so I'm actually surprised to be hearing this! One last question, I can also rent a canon 24-70 or 24-105, out of these two options and the equipment that I own (listed above) what will work best for the on stage close ups during the sermon and/or band performance.?

OK, I can get my hands on an 18-35mm 1.8. Do you think that could work for close up shots? There will be sermon for a good portion of the event as well.

Thanks Jeff. Fortunately, the band that will be performing won't be making any dramatic movements. I saw a few of the previous performances on the church website and they pretty much just standing there. Haha! The audience will be sitting down and I will have full range of the floor so I can position myself anywhere I can just not on stage. I'm thinking of using a monopod as well. I think the 135mm f\2 will work well, maybe? I don't have any experience of this type of light setting so I'm just trying to figure things out now.

I'll be photographing at a church in a month or so and will be photographing band performances taking place on a stage. I'm not allowed to use a flash. Here is the equipment I have : canon 6d, 70-300mm, 50mm1.8, 50mm1.4, 135mm f2. Just need some guidance on how to take the best quality pictures. I know I'll have to bump up my iso and will try to use a tripod for stability when possible. Any tip and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
