From a photojournalist perspective # 3 is the only "keeper" - after filling in the shadows. 1, 2, 4 unacceptable. Profile shots sometimes work, but the money shot has both eyes in the frame. I can't fault you - I assume you were not able to be more in the center of the seating area.
While the shirt looks fairly neutral, he seems yellowish/orange. Besides a WB adjustment, I'm wondering if toning down the saturation might help as well.
Most of the time when people post shots like this they have terrible lighting and no substance. The lighting is decent, but what I liked is every shot has a different emotion. Everything from goofy, to serious, to angry, to happy.
Wow, I thought these were from 'People Photography' not 'Photo Critique'...
Thanks for sharing the images.
The only scary thing is #6 brought a flash back to Tricky Dicky to mind

Do you have any images of the audience?
No, since I only had the 200 prime, I didn't get a wide shot. But my friend did a panorama with his iphone of the crowd. I'll check to see how it came out. It was a small volleyball gymnasium probably 90% full... ~2000 people.
