Prior to I start to discuss getting circus outfits I need to explain a little bit about the competition kept in the excellent samba arena Sambódromo yearly.
The images of thousands of people parading the most sophisticated and also vibrant outfits is well spread around the globe. Almost all these pictures have their origin in the yearly carnival parade competition. Fourteen so called samba institutions all try to please the judges as well as get the greatest rating. High qualities like style, songs, drum area as well as synchronization is evaluated. Annually one shool from the so called Grupo de Acesso (2nd department) obtain advertised as well as the last of the 14 in Grupo Especial (very first department) is delegated. On Circus Saturday the 2nd department ceremonies as well as on Sunday as well as Monday it ´ s the very first division
. The parade (or desfile) of each institution lasts regarding 60-80 minutes. It includes several cars and sections of around 200 people each where everyone wears a certain outfit. A few of these areas are open to every person so you can acquire on your own an outfit as well as take part.
I did this 5 years back, as well as it is a memory forever. Me as well as my friends flaunted with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second division school with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. Worn gold footwear and also smooth red as well as white clothing we all met outside the big samba stadium Sambódromo. Standing outdoors waiting to enter you can really feel exactly how everybodies expectations were high, a whole year of practice and also prep work had actually been developing to this moment.
Hours and hours of waiting and afterwards the fireworks noting the begin of each institution began. Our drum section started, 250 male solid hammering away. All of us started to sing the tune we had been told to find out. Gradually our ceremony began and before we understood it we remained in the arena. Singing, dancing and also grinning before tens of thousands of people we gradually made our method down the long parade street. Greater than 60 mins later it was over. It was like a surge of colour, songs as well as explosion that mored than, we returned house to our pals flat in Leblon.
In retrospection I can conveniently state it was one of the greater experiences in my life. What I can have done better is to find out a bit much more about the background as well as traditions of the carnival ceremony, particularly about the particular 60.léta school I selected. I put on ´ t think going in the less costly Grupo de Acesso minimized our experience, I've really heard that you are offered a lot more freedom in these since the larger institutions are so competitive they regulate you a lot more.
The pictures of thousands of people displaying the most sophisticated and vibrant outfits is well spread around the globe. Nearly all these photos have their beginning in the annual carnival ceremony competitors. Me and my friends displayed with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second division college with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. What I might have done better is to find out a bit more concerning the history and practices of the carnival ceremony, particularly about the certain institution I went with.
