If you sit in the last row of an auditorium during a band concert why might you see the drummer hit the drum before it sounds?

The speed of sound is about 1100 feet/second under common normal conditions. It can vary with altitude, air temperature and pressure; but not by much.

The speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum or in air, a really really whole lot faster.

So if you were in the last row at a concert, the light from the drummer drumming would be almost instantaneous but the sound from the drumming drummer would take longer to reach you. In fact, if you measured the time in seconds from when you saw the drummer drumming until you heard the drumming of the drum and multiplied it by 11 hundred, you could figure out how far away you were from the drummer drumming on the drums.
