Its not hard (unless you're being sarcastic, if that's the case, then well played sir.  ). Just a different set of rules like everything else in photography. The biggest thing is watching your ambient and backgrounds. The question always seems to be, how MUCH ambient do you want. Of course, that opens up to balancing your flash with the ambient and watching color shifts (white face, yellow ears).
I would NOT have wanted to try and shoot this without a flash. The shadows werent bad but the gels on the cans were not matching the ambient so the blue backround was getting a bit green when trying to WB the skin.
No no... I was not being sarcastic. I just figured that the same issues that you have mentioned make it much more difficult to get good pictures at a live event as opposed to say other more peaceful settings where you have a better chance of controlling what happens. Obviously technique and knowledge of "what to do if..." play a huge role in capturing what you want. I'm just sayin' that I don't have either the former or the latter, for this case!  Again, great job!
