I remember why I haven't use flash in these photo sessions, as you have to 
shoot through the crowd and sometimes need to stand on the toes I always use 
very high shutter speeds so normal flash sync is not possible.

I have used F2.8 throughout the session, even some images are having a 
little busy background but the bokeh are still fine. With the 180 in 
previous years I use F2.8-4 depends on the subject distance (tend to use 
larger aperture for the more distance one).
