Prior to I start to discuss getting circus outfits I need to clarify a little concerning the competitors kept in the excellent samba arena Sambódromo each year.
The images of countless people parading the most vibrant as well as fancy costumes is well spread around the globe. Mostly all these images have their beginning in the yearly carnival ceremony competitors. Fourteen so called samba institutions all try to please the courts and also obtain the greatest score. Qualities like motif, songs, drum section and synchronization is evaluated. Annually one shool from the so called Grupo de Acesso (second division) obtain advertised as well as the last of the 14 in Grupo Especial (first department) is delegated. On Carnival Saturday the second division ceremonies as well as on Sunday and Monday it ´ s the first department
. The parade (or desfile) of each school lasts concerning 60-80 mins. It consists of several lorries as well as areas of around 200 people each where everyone uses a certain outfit. A few of these sections are open to every person so you can get yourself an outfit as well as participate.
I did this 5 years back, and it is a memory permanently. Me as well as my friends paraded with Alegria da Zona Sul, a 2nd division college with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. Worn golden footwear and smooth red as well as white garments all of us met outside the huge samba stadium Sambódromo. Standing outdoors waiting to go in you can feel how everybodies expectations were high, an entire year of practice as well as preparations had actually been building up to this minute.
Hours and also hours of waiting and afterwards the fireworks marking the beginning of each school started. Our drum section began, 250 guy solid hammering away. We all began to sing the song we had actually been told to discover. Gradually our parade started and prior to we knew it we remained in the stadium. Vocal singing, dance as well as grinning in front of 10s of hundreds of people we hippies znaky gradually made our way down the lengthy parade street. Greater than 60 minutes later it mored than. It was like a surge of colour, music as well as surge that was over, we returned residence to our pals level in Leblon.
In retrospect I can quickly claim it was one of the better experiences in my life. What I can have done better is to discover a little bit more about the history as well as practices of the carnival ceremony, specifically about the particular institution I selected. I don ´ t believe entering the less costly Grupo de Acesso reduced our experience, I've in fact listened to that you are given a lot more liberty in these since the bigger institutions are so affordable they regulate you more.
The pictures of thousands of individuals displaying the most sophisticated and also colourful costumes is well spread around the world. Nearly all these images have their beginning in the yearly carnival parade competitors. Me and also my friends flaunted with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second department college with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. What I can have done much better is to learn a bit much more regarding the history as well as practices of the circus ceremony, specifically about the particular school I went with.
