That looked like a real tough venue to shoot in without a doubt. Really enjoyed the pics and noticed the shutter speed never dropped below 1/125th. Curious as to what mode the camera was in and if you programmed the minimum shutter speed before the shoot.

Thanks, (first-ish) half of the shots were taken in Aperture priority, with manual min shutter speed being 1/125 to prevent too much motion blur (I figured a bit of blur was okay, to reflect the live actions and movements). The other shots are in manual with me manually set the shutter speed to sometimes 1/160 ish or even 1/200, as the actions in those sequences were too erratic. I let the ISO freely skyrocket because I believe 12800 or even 25600 is still salvageable with the R6 sensor, and in worst case scenario I can still live happily with some (artistic?) noise, or even convert the pics to B&W to help the mood.
