Before I start to speak about purchasing circus costumes I have to describe a little bit regarding the competitors held in the wonderful samba stadium Sambódromo annually.
The images of hundreds of individuals flaunting the most vibrant as well as sophisticated costumes is well spread around the world. Mostly all these pictures have their beginning in the yearly carnival ceremony competition. Fourteen so called samba institutions all attempt to please the judges as well as get the greatest rating. Qualities like style, songs, drum section as well as synchronization is evaluated. Each year one shool from the so called Grupo de Acesso (2nd department) get advertised and also the last of the 14 in Grupo Especial (very first department) is relegated. On Carnival Saturday the 2nd department parades as well as on Sunday and also Monday it ´ s the first department
. The ceremony (or desfile) of each school lasts regarding 60-80 mins. It consists of several automobiles and also sections of around 200 individuals each where everyone wears a specific outfit. A few of these sections are open to everyone so you can get on your own a costume as well as take part.
I did this 5 years earlier, and it is a memory forever. Me as well as my friends displayed with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second division institution with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. Worn gold shoes as well as smooth red and also white garments we all satisfied outside the huge samba arena Sambódromo. Standing outdoors waiting to go in you might hippies kostým really feel just how every people expectations were high, a whole year of method as well as prep work had actually been building up to this moment.
Hours and also hrs of waiting and then the fireworks marking the start of each institution started. Our drum area began, 250 male strong hammering away. We all started to sing the tune we had actually been informed to find out. Gradually our ceremony began and before we knew it we were in the arena. Vocal singing, dance and also grinning in front of tens of thousands of people we slowly made our method down the lengthy ceremony road. Greater than 60 mins later on it mored than. It was like an explosion of colour, music and explosion that was over, we went back house to our good friends level in Leblon.
In retrospection I can conveniently claim it was just one of the better experiences in my life. What I could have done better is to learn a bit more about the history and traditions of the carnival parade, especially about the particular school I chose. I don ´ t think going in the less expensive Grupo de Acesso reduced our experience, I've actually heard that you are given much more freedom in these since the bigger schools are so competitive they regulate you extra.
The photos of thousands of individuals displaying the most sophisticated as well as colourful costumes is well spread around the world. Almost all these pictures have their beginning in the annual circus ceremony competition. Me as well as my pals paraded with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second division college with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. What I can have done much better is to discover a bit much more about the history and also practices of the circus parade, especially about the certain college I went with.
