Thanks for the feedback and for the photos! Glad the festival went well!
People absorb a lot of sound, so a venue will act very differently when people are present. You probably would found a lot of midrange and echo with the room empty, but when people are there, they damp a lot of that. So for example, if the only people there are a couple dozen sports players, you hear that characteristic "gymnasium sound." But if the gymnasium is filled with a couple hundred people, they damp the room very well and it sounds much different.
