Are you running the vt1 through the Thunder's pre or plugged in to the fx-return, bypassing its preamp?
Does the vt1 have a line out or di out instead of the speaker out?
Or could the Sumo be faulty.
I think it's important to pick the most iconic bits of the selected songs. Nobody wants to hear some obscure reference or figure out what it was supposed to be near the end of the bit.
Connect the pieces with drumfills or other transitional indicators. If you stop and count in again then you effectively start a new song.

Maybe see about a student exchange project?

Haven't tried mine live yet. Seems to have fairly good off axis rejection. Works fine in the rehearsal room for a old school thrash metal band.
What is the issue on stage?
A quick google tells me there's no shortage of 8ohm 210s.
It could yield a 110, 210, 310 or 410 configuration for any size room or stage together with the current cabs. Possibly more convenient to carry too.
I like 12 inchers myself.
Apparently if you have a recent audiogram (hearing test results) you can program the airpods to compensate for any hearing loss.
The FDA even approved them as over-the-counter hearing aids.
Edit: probably only for mild hearing loss
I'd go with a string of colourful LEDs, add to the show and only the actually blind can claim to have missed them. Drape over the monitors or guirlande from the micstands?
9v or 18v has very little to do with how hot the output signal is. I've had passive basses with a hotter output than any of my stingrays.
A higher voltage pre could theoretically give a more dynamic signal, if providing higher peaks and a lower noise floor.
