Prior to I begin to talk about getting circus costumes I need to explain a bit concerning the competitors held in the terrific samba arena Sambódromo each year.
The images of countless individuals parading the most sophisticated and also colourful outfits is well spread around the world. Nearly all these images have their beginning in the yearly carnival parade competitors. Fourteen so called samba schools all try to please the courts and get the greatest rating. Qualities like theme, music, drum area and also synchronization is evaluated. Every year one shool from the so called Grupo de Acesso (second department) get promoted and also the last of the 14 in Grupo Especial (initial division) is relegated. On Circus Saturday the 2nd division parades as well as on Sunday as well as Monday it ´ s the initial department
. The ceremony (or desfile) of each school lasts regarding 60-80 mins. It contains numerous cars and also sections of about 200 individuals each where everybody puts on a certain costume. A few of these areas are open to every person so you can buy on your own an outfit and also participate.
I did this 5 years ago, and it is a memory for life. Me and my friends flaunted with Alegria da Zona Sul, a second division institution with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. Worn gold footwear and also smooth red and also white garments we all met outside the big samba stadium Sambódromo. Standing outside waiting to enter you might feel just how every people expectations were high, a whole year of practice and also preparations had been accumulating to this minute.
Hrs and also hrs of waiting and afterwards the fireworks noting the beginning of each college started. Our drum area began, 250 male solid hammering away. Most of us began to sing the tune we had actually been told to discover. Slowly our ceremony began as well as before we knew it we were in hippies the arena. Vocal singing, dancing as well as smiling before 10s of countless people we gradually made our way down the long ceremony street. More than 60 minutes later it was over. It was like an explosion of colour, music and explosion that was over, we returned house to our close friends level in Leblon.
In retrospection I can conveniently claim it was just one of the greater experiences in my life. What I could have done better is to find out a little bit a lot more concerning the history and also customs of the circus parade, especially about the particular college I opted for. I put on ´ t think entering the less costly Grupo de Acesso minimized our experience, I've in fact listened to that you are provided much more liberty in these considering that the bigger colleges are so competitive they control you extra.
The pictures of thousands of individuals flaunting the most intricate as well as vibrant costumes is well spread out around the world. Nearly all these pictures have their beginning in the annual carnival ceremony competition. Me and also my good friends paraded with Alegria da Zona Sul, a 2nd department institution with their base in the favelas in Copacabana. What I can have done much better is to find out a little bit a lot more regarding the history and traditions of the circus ceremony, especially about the certain college I went with.
