as a guy who still shoots his Canon A80 (four years old this week, actually), I can say with some experience and certainty that M sucks on digital point and shoots. it takes about a thousand clicks to go from 1/1000s to 1/4s, plus a several more for aperture.
A mode + spot metering FTW.
and to op: action shots in low light are a digital p&s' weakest point. there is no good way to do it well without thinking outside of your camera. high iso is unusable, and the small flash only has a good range of about six feet. if you do use the flash, you get the coal miner look (bright subject on a black background) that always looks so rankly amateur. you can either:
1) get some more light. get some worklights, tape some parchment paper to them (parchment paper is used for baking, so it's okay with 400 degree temperatures) to soften the light. or use hard light, to make your band look, you know. edgy. (bad joke)
2) move them outside during the day and give up on dimly lit interiors.
