Prior to I start to talk about buying circus costumes I have to clarify a little concerning the competition held in the fantastic samba arena Sambódromo yearly.
The images of countless people parading one of the most sophisticated and also vibrant costumes is well spread around the globe. Nearly all these pictures have their beginning in the annual carnival ceremony competition. Fourteen so called samba schools all attempt to please the judges and also get the highest rating. High qualities like theme, music, drum area as well as 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 (first department) is relegated. On Circus Saturday the second division ceremonies as well as on Sunday and Monday it ´ s the initial division
. The ceremony (or desfile) of each school lasts concerning 60-80 minutes. It includes several automobiles as well as areas of around 200 individuals each where everyone puts on a certain outfit. A few of these sections are open to every person so you can buy on your own an outfit and take part.
I did this 5 years back, as well as it is a memory permanently. Me and my friends flaunted with Alegria da Zona Sul, a 2nd division school with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. Dressed in gold footwear and silky red as well as white garments we all met outside the huge samba arena Sambódromo. Standing outdoors waiting to go in you could feel just how every people expectations were high, a whole year of method and also prep work had been building up to this moment.
Hrs and also hrs of waiting and afterwards the fireworks marking the start of each college started. Our drum area began, 250 male solid hammering away. Most of us began to sing the track we had actually been informed to find out. Gradually our parade began and prior to we understood it we were in the stadium. Singing, dancing and smiling in front of tens of countless people we slowly made our method down the long parade street. More than 60 mins later on it was over. It was like an explosion of colour, music as well as surge that was over, we returned house to our pals flat in Leblon.
In retrospection I can easily claim it was just one of the greater experiences in my life. What I can have done better is to discover a bit extra concerning the history and practices of the carnival ceremony, particularly regarding the particular institution I opted for. I wear ´ t assume entering the less costly Grupo de Acesso decreased our experience, I've in fact listened to that you are offered far more liberty in these considering that the larger institutions are so affordable they manage you much more.
The pictures of thousands of people parading the hippie kostým most colourful and elaborate outfits is well spread out around the globe. Nearly all these photos have their origin in the yearly carnival ceremony competitors. Me as well as my good friends displayed with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second division institution with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. What I could have done much better is to find out a bit a lot more concerning the history and also customs of the carnival parade, specifically concerning the particular institution I went with.
