Prior to I begin to speak about getting carnival outfits I need to discuss a little bit concerning the competition held in the wonderful samba stadium Sambódromo every year.
The images of hundreds of people parading one of the most vibrant and intricate costumes is well spread around the globe. Nearly all these photos have their origin in the annual carnival ceremony competition. Fourteen so called samba colleges all try to please the judges as well as get the greatest score. Top qualities like theme, songs, drum section and also synchronization is judged. Yearly one shool from the so called Grupo de Acesso (second department) get advertised as well as the last of the 14 in Grupo Especial (initial division) is delegated. On Carnival Saturday the 2nd division ceremonies and on Sunday as well as Monday it ´ s the first division
. The ceremony (or desfile) of each institution lasts concerning 60-80 minutes. It contains several automobiles and areas of around 200 people each where every person wears a particular costume. A few of these areas are open to every person so you can purchase on your own a costume as well as participate.
I did this 5 years back, and also it is a memory for life. Me as well as my friends paraded with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second department school with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. Dressed in gold shoes as well as smooth red and white clothing most of us satisfied outside the large samba stadium Sambódromo. Standing outside waiting to enter you could feel just how everyones expectations were high, an entire year of practice as well as prep work had been developing to this minute.
Hrs and hrs of waiting and afterwards the fireworks marking the begin of each college began. Our drum section began, 250 male strong hammering away. All of us began to sing the track we had been told to find out. Gradually our parade began and also prior to we knew it we were in the arena. Vocal singing, dance and smiling before 10s of thousands of people we slowly made our means down the lengthy parade street. More than 60 mins later on it mored than. It was like an explosion of colour, songs and also surge that was over, we went back house to our good friends level in 60.léta Leblon.
In retrospect I can easily state it was among the better experiences in my life. What I might have done better is to find out a little bit more about the history as well as customs of the circus ceremony, especially about the particular school I chose. I put on ´ t believe entering the less costly Grupo de Acesso lessened our experience, I've actually heard that you are provided a lot more flexibility in these considering that the larger colleges are so affordable they regulate you more.
The images of thousands of people parading the most fancy as well as colourful costumes is well spread around the world. Practically all these photos have their beginning in the annual circus ceremony competitors. Me as well as my pals flaunted with Alegria da Zona Sul, a 2nd department institution with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. What I might have done better is to discover a bit much more regarding the history as well as customs of the carnival parade, especially about the particular college I went with.
