“Shake down the thunder from the skies,” a phrase from The Notre Dame Victory March, was sung forcefully by the University of Notre Dame Glee Club in concert on May 26 at San Francisco Church in La Antigua Guatemala. After a typical break of electricity darkened and then dramatically relit the chorus, director Daniel C. Stowe grinned, “I think God liked it.”

When Heidi Sandoval was a young girl, she wanted to be a singer. After much practice, she went to radio station TGW for an audition, but it didn’t happen. She began asking herself if there was another way to get into the entertainment business besides singing.

During this time of year when giving is a priority, the president of Banco de Comercio, Jorge Ibarra, is honoring well-known Guatemalan singer Herman May by having May record a CD with some of the most memorable songs ever written.
Ibarra happened to hear May perform one evening at a hotel and was so impressed that he began looking for a way to promote the Guatemalan talent. Ibarra’s answer was to have May record unforgettable hits of all time, from Elvis Presley to Frank Sinatra.

Choreographer Freddy Corado has been dancing for years, but he didn’t learn how to move his feet from dance classes — he learned by watching videos. It just came naturally.
Next he began giving dance classes, and there he discovered the talented Cristina España, who soon became his partner. Now they dance together to all Latin rhythms, salsa, stomps, riverdance, plus tap callejero. They have performed in the IGA, the Club Italiano and various discos, always showing people what a group of talented dancers can do.
