Nice. Stage lights are some of the hardest lights to deal with behind the camera, too, because the level of just pure color being projected is sometimes so hard to manage, especially with red. I really dislike red stage lightning, even when shooting film. In fact, even more so if they're the new LED stage lights.
I like the results you got here. I can tell where going to extremes on the WB may have cost you some image noise, but it's not a deal-breaker in your samples.

Thanks! I am going for broke on noise here anyway. I shot at ISO 12800. Most exposures are at 1/50th of a second so it was basically at the limit of shutter speed before every shot ended up blurry. I ended up with a ton of blurred shots. This was with my f/4 zoom lens at f/4 for every shot. I could have tried the 50mm f/1.4 but with that I end up with more missed focus shots than blurred ones, and missing focus is way more frustrating :) Also having to do big crops with all that noise makes things no good.
Looks good to me - great balance between noise and detail, really nailed it
Thank you @adamt!
