Easy. Light is a wave you can see, sound is a wave you can hear.

B.T.W. light travels 186000 miles per second, and sound at 678.2.

Though sound and light have the same wave equation why doesn't light diverge?

Oh it does ! Try shining a light, even a laser, through a small hole in foil or cardboard. When comparing sound and light, don't forget to allow for the difference in wavelength, and adjust the dimensions of the expected phenomena accordingly. Maybe a better comparison would be between sound and radio ... FM or low-band TV ... since the wavelengths are comparable.

Why might you see the drummer hit the drum before you actually hear the drums sound if you sit in the last row of an auditorium during a band concert?

The delay between seeing the drummer hit the drum and hearing the sound is due to the speed of light being faster than the speed of sound. Light from the drummer reaches your eyes almost instantly, while sound travels more slowly through the air. Consequently, if you're sitting far away in the last row, the sound takes longer to reach you, resulting in a noticeable lag. This phenomenon is an example of the difference in propagation speeds of light and sound.
