Great selection! I adore panos, but how do you do it with people, don't they move?
I've done panos with groups of people. I haven't done any with people that move around freely (that I can recall) but people seated in a hall. They do move their heads and arms but I can usually deal with that.
Photoshop will stitch your shots into a pano. The way it does it is to first align the various images (sometimes that requires some slight distortion to make things match). It can somehow ignore the waving arms and heads for the most part. It then just cuts out portions of the different frames and butts them together. It does some exposure adjustment to make the seams match better.
Occasionally you'll get a ghost on one of the seams. I've had pretty good luck editing the masks that PS uses on the individual shots. I expand the mask on a lower layer and erase portions of the mask on the upper layer. I may have to rearrange layers, but it can usually get rid of the ghosts. Takes a bit of practice.
As far as how many shots I've used, I think the most was a 4 x 5 array of 36 MPx images. It took Photoshop quite a while to put it together, but it worked.

Real nice indeed! Gotta be 20-30 raw shots combined I would guess, even more if jpg. ;)
I like it!

I used to do pano stitches in the film days, and cut the prints with a razor to line them up.
The longest one I did was of "Hands Across America," on old route 66 East of Albuquerque. I think it had about a dozen prints.
In at least one place, you can see the same little girl twice, because she moved in the line.
This was also the shot where I learned the value of leveling your tripod beforehand. I had to trim quite a bit of curvature out of the image....

I can see where THAT would be tedious work!
Thank goodness for stitching programs and fast computers! :)

Yes.
Funny because this guy had the same motivation as I did: A long wall (50 yards at least) covered with graffitties.
I had trouble thought: Cars were parked and there were trees in front so I ended up with ghosts impossible to remove...
I need to find this one as it was long ago (2006 or 7)
Edit: Found it. I did not keep the final result but I can reconstruct it using PS... 32 JPG images...

I have tried it once but was not successful in that the images did not coincide as planned. I have been thinking that with greater overlap of 50-75% and as many as 50-100 shots it might be possible to get perfectly horizontal panoramas. The question remains whether it would be worth the time.

I think I may be going backwards! I've got a pano I like and am going to try to cut it apart in editing so I can display as three prints mounted on foam board. I could get pano paper, huge mat board and a huge frame, but that's too much work.I used to do pano stitches in the film days, and cut the prints with a razor to line them up. .....

Wouldn't you want to shoot that in M for purposes of consistency?
To a certain degree, yes. The one thing I do to make sure of consistency is to set the focus, and then turn off auto focus. As you mentioned, setting exposure to manual and not adjusting that is also a good practice.
I use a stitching program I wrote with a friend of mine a few years back for post processing. It was originally written to stitch black and white scanned negatives, but has since been used for digital imaging, as well.
