Okay I bought the 50mm f/1.8 lens and love it. What would be a good lens (price/performance), for shooting groups(like 6 to 16 people) in the sunlight and in low light. BTW this is with the Rebel XT...
 
What's your budget? The 17-85 works well if you have enough light. Pick up a 420EX and you're good to go indoors.
 
Definitely a wide angle for a large group, but except for the 18-55 lens kit, other wide angles can be pretty expensive.

The 17-85 fugu mentions is $500-600 new (and aperture range 4-5.6)
 
From the picture he posted in another thread I assumed he already has the kit lens. Another suggestion would be the 17-40 f/4 L, which isn't exactly cheap either.
 
It's a nice lens, but might be a bit narrow for group shots if you're indoors
