I noticed you haven't been getting a lot of reply to your question. Probably it's because there was little detail in what you were going to do. Main difference between bouncing flash and straight on is much less shadow in bounce and softer skin tones. Does this help a little? Try all means at your disposal and then pick and choose when doing PP. Take lots of shots. memory cards are cheap.

You really do not have a lot of options if you are using one flash and shooting that many people indoors. Bounce would appear to be it, I don't know what else could be suggested unless I'm missing something. The only other thing is the Fong lightsphere which does a good job in situations like this.
