I will have to find some crowds to play with.
for red carpet I would use a 24-70, but I use full frame and your cam has cropped sensor so the lenses are longer and 24-70 would be 36-105 or something like that which is to long... so your 18-200 would be the best best with the long end of your lens to grab headshots a the wide for full body stuff. just crank the iso up to +/-1600 so the slow glass will have enough light.
