I ran into similar issues when I was building this. I tried different thicknesses of wires and different ways of shielding them but could not get a stable connection from the arduino in the wand to the sound board and neopixels in the pack. I did find that I could still control the lights in the wand if I put the arduino in the pack. I'm guessing the distance is too much for the power of the arduino but there were also serious shielding issues and cross talk.
The second item, if you are using the full code with bar graph then it is going to look for the io board on startup and not allow it to proceed if not found. You can comment out the initialization code for the io board and everything else should function.
If the neopixel worked before soldering then I would double check everything. Maybe reflow the solder. Could be a weak connection somewhere
