Thanks for the kind words, everyone. We were about four or five people back, smack in the center. With a few shorter people right in front of me, I was able to get some nice shots. And it helped that the lighting was so varied; I could wait for the right shot or the right lighting, depending on who I was looking at.
I have an Olympus C-730 camera with a 10x optical zoom. The zoom is what really helps, as the speed and low-light quality isn't the best. I was using an ISO of 400; the exposure compensation was +2.0; and my shutter speed was between 1/40 (or so) and 1/160.
